A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Whether you, like me, beleive that QAZWSX keyboards make far more sense, especially in a machine learning world, I think we all agree a layout designed to circumvent jamming typewriter keys doesn't make sense in modern society on modern devices.

I'll like to see more info of this "QAZWSX" keyboard layout if you have any. I did a quick search for it but ended up in Reddit with a comment you made (I think?. The usernames were almost identical). I don't like the AI part on a keyboard though.

Do you mind if I send you a link as a private message? This was honestly just me thinking aloud this morning and I really don't want to be accused of shilling.

Yeah, I don't mind! I'm just curious about the layout

there was also the video detailing how the layout actually formed from a morse code machine with individual letter keys and putting commonly used and similar in morse code letters together, and spelling typewriter with the top letter row was a coincidence. Much like every other theory I didn't bother delving too deeply and verifying it myself.

I have never heard of qazwsx but I do agree that there isn't much value in qwerty any more though for me its not only touch that benefits from change
