# The baseline effort is based on the distance required # to reach each key position. Assumed here is a standard 101-key # layout and conventional finger placement. These distances are # combined with other typing effort model parameters, such as # key-finger assignment, finger penalties, hand penalties, # and path stroke. # # The units of distance are arbitrary, but their relative values # should correspond to actual key distances. # # These specific values are key distances in cm on my benq x120 keyboard. # Distances are approximate and measured the centers of the key. # ~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = effort = 5 4 4 4 4 4 4.5 4 4 4 4 4.5 5.5 # q w e r t y u i o p [ ] \ effort = 2 2 2 2 2.5 3 2 2 2 2 2.5 4 6 # a s d f g h j k l ; ' effort = 0 0 0 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 2 # z x c v b n m , . / effort = 2 2 2 2 3.5 2 2 2 2 2
