- Very low overall fingers movement distance
- Very low same finger / same hand usage overheads

- Highly symmetrical design that accounts for individual fingers strength
- Designed with the modern, web based English in mind
The Name
The name is a combination of HAL-9000
, as a reference to the layout being designed by an AI. And, Dvorak
as a gratitude to Mr. Dvorak for his dedication to the layouts optimizations process. The letter m
in between is just to make it sound nicer. Or is it!?…
