We worked with the community on the #PinePhone's keyboard layout over the weekend. After some push and pull, and a total of 6 complete layout revisions, we arrived at a compromise that most ought to be happy with.
Thank you to all those who participated.
Let us add that the firmware will be flashable via PinePhone's i2c bus... so, if you don't like the layout, then adjustments to personal preference will be possible. The keyboard will be an i2c HID driver.
