I'm going to be cramming a Pi Zero, a battery pack, a DIY custom keyboard, and a 9" touchscreen into some sort of 3D printed enclosure to make a "Writer Deck" built around the Wordgrinder low-distraction word processor. I'd like to keep the keyboard part somewhat integrated into the design and maybe around the footprint of a 60%, but what would y'all suggest as a good layout optimized for writing prose rather than code?
Most of my favorite personal builds are variations on an FRL 1800 (here's an example of a much nicer one than I make), but I can make any layout that's physically practical and able to use normal keycaps.
