Layout optimization best practices: sources of your personal corpus (part 2)
Welcome back to our series on designing custom keymaps! After looking into how good/bad QWERTY is, the power of layers, and the potential of custom keymaps, last time we took the first real step by examining your options for compiling a corpus. As a recap: The corpus is simply a big chunk of text. We use this collection of textual data, often a single text file, to characterize your typing habits (calculating various language statistics), and feed it directly or indirectly as an input into layout optimization algorithms – to find the optimal keymap for you! Today we’ll expand on this idea by exploring your options if, like me, you prefer a personalized corpus rather than grabbing some general (and mostly irrelevant) data available online. Image 1: Letter frequencies – the most basic use of corpora – in this very post We've seen that a well-crafted, personalized corpus plays a key role in determining the outcome of the optimization process. We've also explored...

- Why did I have to dig through the discussion section to find the name for this board IDOBO?
- Why this board is not flashed with the layout we see in those pictures?
- Why we don't have a layout in QMK repo matching these pictures?
- No instructions or the keymap print out, especially since it doesn't match drop pictures.
Looks and feels like a tank until you start pushing on those buttons real hard since PCB is lacking proper support, especially at the top right. Not something you'll notice typing though. The case looks flawless, I really don't care about the lack of the reset button hole since you can always have it on one of your layers. All in all I think it's worth the money. https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/idobo/keymaps/default75https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/idobo/keymaps
