The 26-key version uses chords for Z, V, J, and QU. Tap the G+D chord for QU or hold it for Q alone. Holding E opens the symbol layer; the R+S and A+I chords provide one-shot Shift.

The full-size version uses nokwts fingering and right Alt for E. The author’s additional alternate-fingering recommendations are shown on the official layout page; the statistics here use the standard nokwts assignments.

Finch is a layout by reeve, inspired by Canary. It places E on the right thumb and emphasizes low pinky usage, with optional adaptive swaps.
