Provide other keyboard layouts that are more ergonomical and efficient!

Dear developers,
this zine https://www.dvzine.org/ got me to change my keyboard layout.
Would it be possible to add the US dvorak and german neo-layout https://neo-layout.org/, that can be used in splitted keyboard mode. I guess this should be quite easy to implement, as it is standard in linux distributions.
In a second step an adaptation to the split sailfish keyboard layout could be implemented, where the keys that are in the dvorak and neo-layout in the center and homerow are placed on the borders of the phone and near the center the keys that are used less and with higher error rates.
Thanks!

I don’t think Jolla will provide those, but you can find both ‘English Dvorak’ and ‘German Neo’ keyboard layouts on OpenRepos. I don’t know if they still work, though.
