新しいレイアウトを設計する際、指の移動を最小限にするために各キー対のキー間の距離を計算しました。

Sense（1）

The shortest path between two keys in a keyboard layout in terms of the number of intermediate keys.

We then computed a keyboard distance between any two given keys

based on the minimum number of adjacent keys that the finger

must travel over to reach one from the other assuming a QWERTY

keyboard layout. For example the keyboard distance for the {a,s}

pair is 1 and {a,c} is 3 (based on the path a→s→d→c) by this

definition.
