Subject: Re: a ergonomic emacs keyboard shortcut layout

Dear Emacs Users,

About 2 months ago, i did a Emacs Command Frequency study, based on data from just myself.

I'm glad to report that i have received now raw stat from 2 other people. So, i have completely revamped the approach by writing a program that parses raw stat sources to generate a report.

The detailed report along with methodology and parsing program is here:
Emacs's Command Frequency

Thanks.

Xah,

it's good that somebody does this kind of study.

But the problem is that you can't really conclude anything from them with respect to other users - simply because all your data seems to stem from your own usage. People differ greatly in their usage patterns.

If you could set this up with, say, a hundred users or so, maybe via a distributable plugin (and their explicit consent), then that would be a lot more useful.

Recently i've done some studies on emacs command frequency and come up
with a design of ergonomic keyboard shortcut layout for emacs. I hope
it would be useful to the emacs community.
