This allows more words to be entered without the fingers leaving the home row compared to other keyboard layouts. </p><p>For an average German-language text 63% of all letters can be typed with fingers in the home row—in contrast to 25% in the usual <a href="/wiki/QWERTZ" title="QWERTZ">QWERTZ layout</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In addition, using Neo the hands shall alternate as often as possible during typing and their use be evenly distributed—the QWERTY keyboard layout is very left-heavy. </p><p>The drafting of the letter positions took into account the experience from other keyboard layout reforms. Instead of pursuing a purely mathematical or experimental path, Neo combines the insights of both paths with the goal of improving both the ergonomics and the ease of memorization of the keyboard layout. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Layers">Layers</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Neo_(keyboard_layout)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Layers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Neo 2 has a total of six levels. The first two levels correspond to the German lowercase and uppercase letters and can be reached by <kbd>switching</kbd> as usual layouts. The third level can be reached via the <kbd>Mod3</kbd>, which under QWERTZ corresponds to the <kbd>Caps Lock key</kbd> and the <kbd>#</kbd> key, and contains common punctuation and special characters. Binary and trigrams, which are commonly used in programming, in wikis, when chatting, or in the command line of common operating systems, have been taken into account in the design of this level. </p><p>The fourth level can be reached via <kbd>Mod4</kbd>, which under QWERTZ corresponds to the <kbd>Alt Gr</kbd> key and the <kbd><</kbd> key, contains a numeric keypad and important navigation keys, so you do not have to take your hands off the main field to navigate in a text document. By making the navigation buttons accessible on the main panel, Neo also encounters the criticism expressed in reform keyboards that text editors like Vim would be more difficult to use. This level can be locked just like the second one. </p><p>The levels five (<kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Mod3</kbd>) and six (<kbd>Mod3</kbd> + <kbd>Mod4</kbd>) finally contain small and capital letters in Greek as well as other mathematical and scientific signs. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Character_variety_and_typography">Character variety and typography</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Neo_(keyboard_layout)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Character variety and typography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Neo allows the entry of virtually all languages with Latin-based alphabet, in particular because of the <a href="/wiki/Dead_keys" class="mw-redirect" title="Dead keys">dead keys</a> and additional Compose combinations, of which Neo brings many of its own. The dead keys are located at the top left and right and allow combining the following characters with the corresponding diacritic when hitting the key. </p><p>Thus, not only grave, acute and circumflex, but also many other diacritics such as the ring, breve and macron are possible, including the novel dead button "turning" <kbd>↻</kbd> , for example, from the sign a one can create an ɐ. Together with the fifth level, Neo can be used to create Greek as well as International Phonetic Alphabet symbols. Nevertheless Neo is clearly designed for the German language; for others a change in programming is necessary. </p><p>Furthermore, meaningful Unicode characters were placed on the keyboard for which otherwise a character table would have to suffice, or which would otherwise not be so easy to achieve. These characters include the common quotes ("..."), the dash (-), the real apostrophe (') and the chevrons commonly used in books and newspapers (« »).

The name <i>Neo</i> is a recursive acronym and originally stood for <i>NEO Ergonomic Oops</i> , so "NEO", later the interpretation was set to <i>Neo ergonomically optimized</i> . </p><p>Considered were experiences of the Dvorak keyboard layout (around 1932), the ergonomic layout of Helmut Meier (1954) and some later investigations as well as attempts to have an ideal occupancy calculated by algorithms alone. Instead of treading only a purely mathematical or purely experimental way, as is the case with previous ergonomic layouts, Neo takes both findings into account and combines these with consideration of the ergonomics and the quickly memorable arrangement of the keys. Thus, Neo relies on the one hand on statistical surveys, in particular the distribution of letters in German and other languages, and on the other hand on studies on ergonomics by Walter Rohmert, the MARSAN Institute (1979) or Malt (1977). </p><p>In 2005, Neo 1.1 started thinking about how to arrange the keys that are often needed when programming. In it are brackets and special characters on the main field with the help of the key <kbd>Mod3</kbd> , which corresponds to the <kbd>Qwerty</kbd> caps lock key and the <kbd>#</kbd> button and the button <kbd>Mod4</kbd> , which under QWERTY the key <kbd>Alt Gr</kbd> and the key <kbd><</kbd> corresponds to reach. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Neo_2">Neo 2</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Neo_(keyboard_layout)&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Neo 2"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Release 2, released on March 29, 2010, introduced these changes: </p> <ul><li>In the main level, the keys X, J and Q were swapped cyclically.
