The Neo2 layout developed by Hanno Behrens in 2004 is an ergonomically optimized keyboard layout for the German language. It rearranges the letters on the keyboard so the most important ones are on the base row. For example, the vowels [uiae] are on the left, with the most common German consonants [nrtd] on the right.
