Re: chording keyboard layout

For now I just wanted to stick with the general Twiddler Layout.  That way
people wouldn't have to relearn a new keybaord layout if they wanted to
switch to the Fiddler.  Aside from the number pad change.  At one point I
though of making hte layout loosly based on the qwerty system where the
top three buttons would decide the row of keyboard you were on
(q-p)(a-l)(z-m) and the chording selected which letter of that row.  Since
I havne't finished building it yet I don't know if it would be that much
easier to use and therefore haven't designed the layout for it yet.
BTW: No offense taken
