I have utmost respect for anyone learning another keyboard layout.
I know like two of those symbols
Doesn’t matter. I almost never use the layer with the greek letters, but the layer with the navigation keys and numpad is very useful
My tiny brain can’t do any layout that isn’t qwerty :(
It’s mostly a matter of persistence.
There are dozens of us!
Fun fact I once worked with a guy who knew the inventor. Told him about the layout and he was just like “ja, das ist vom Hanno” (don’t remember exactly, was about 10 years ago). Think I learned Neo2 in 2009 or so because I wanted to learn proper 10 finger typing but couldn’t be arsed to relearn my shoddy 6 finger Qwertz because why would I invest time into a bad layout that I already know “good enough”.
Nowadays there is an improved successor called “Bone” which is recommended for people looking to switch from an old layout, but it’s not so much improved that learning it in addition to Neo2 is worth it.
There’s some cool stuff on it like easy em-dash. The layout is German though with umlauts on the main level, and it even has a capital ẞ.
Writing on my phone here, I use QWERTY and QWERTZ though because I don’t actually know where letters are on Neo2, I only know the finger and movement. So I can’t use it as a virtual phone keyboard, I know because I briefly tried and couldn’t do stuff.
