On Automated Generation of Keyboard Layout to Reduce Finger-Travel Distance

Mali, Amol D.; Yang, Nan - In: International Journal of Monitoring and Surveillance … 5 (2017) 2, pp. 29-43

The QWERTY keyboard layout can be very inefficient for one-finger typing on virtual keyboards since the letters in many common digrams are placed on opposite sides of the keyboard, resulting in a long finger travel. This paper reports on use of simulated annealing for finding alternate...
