I think there should be an extra row of preferred and most used punctuation symbols. That would make typing a whole lot more convenient.

Bondholders sue Oracle over OpenAI debt deals

"The idea of using a YAML map for flexible vowel scaling seems good. It allows any vowel to be specified, not just English ones. I think applying the scale only to lengthened vowels fits with the userā€™s request while keeping short vowels unchanged. I'll check the existing setup to make sure everything aligns."
You better. I'm done implementing settings by hand into this thing. C++ is getting old.
