But why is it not a German keyboard layout?

It is, I’m using it: https://www.neo-layout.org/

It is just not able to break the habit of typewriter compatibility.

They were asking why the heatmaps pictures in OP were not superimposed on a German keyboard layout.

They were not asking why no one has made a keyboard layout out of the heatmaps data :)

Just thought I’d clarify because you’re basically having two different conversations at this point

German layout is QWERTZ while English is QWERTY and your neo layout is neither

I know, but it used the above heatmap to optimize for speed by putting the hottest keys for German on the baseline. It is not the standard keyboard, I learned to use it decades ago when I was a little German high school nerd and had too much time.

A million words doesn’t sound like a lot

To clarify, it is not the total number of words but rather the number of unique words considered. Imho a million of unique words is okay. A bigger concern for me would be that words on Wikipedia can be overly specific.

Have you considered a similarity search approach? They would handle your oddly specific synonym issue

Anzahl der Buchstaben in einem Wort

(Number of letters in a word)

For this metric, Wikipedia might not be a representative dataset. Wikipedia uses many technical terms and composite words which tend to be longer than words that are more common in an everyday dialect.
