I wanted to create a chorded keyboard mapping where you use only the 8 keys on the homerow, but mapped easily to Colemak. I figured out, I could do a key combination on one hand as a modifier to pick if I want to go up, down, toward the middle or toward the outside. The problem is some key combinations are very hard to do, so I wrote a Q program where I rated some finger combinations and made it pick the most ergonomic ones for the most common keys.

Anyway, I also wrote a Autohotkey program that converts qwerty keystrokes to my chorded keyboard layout. The problem is, I switched completely to Linux and now can't use my AH script :(

edit: to provide some context, I was inspired by the Ginny 10 key keyboards and the ASETNIOP keyboard layout:
