ASETNIOP Keyboard

    Different name, same idea.
    By simply transposing dfjkl; with the letters etniop, a keyboard
would be made more than forty percent more efficient, 80% more
efficient for the letters transposed. Less transverse motion and more
common letters on the home row will result in greater speed, comfort
and fewer mistakes.
    By keeping the letters under the same fingers you will find that
etnio and p will be easy to learn, e and t are each more common than
dfjkl; combined in normal english text. Dfjkl and ; are harder to get
used to, you will be hitting them in their old locations.

    "Use this test as an exercise, inhibit transverse motion" will
come out
    "Usd fhks fdsf as aj dxdrcksd, kjhkbkf frajsvdrsd mlfklj" on the
qwerty keyboard. using text without dfjkl and ; makes it easy to detect
mistakes as they will show up as etnio or p in the practice.
    Christopher Latham Showles originally put e and probably t on the
home row under the middle and index fingers of the left hand. This
caused a jamming of the key bars on his mechanical typewriter, making
for a machine unfriendly typist. This led to our modern version,
patented in 1868. Maybe its time to go back to the original design again.
