Good result for this layout without change the modifier keys.
And here we can't see the hard work on "finger rolls" for ngram typing...

But your very efficence and nice tool confirms my computation.

Thanks again

A small variant which performs the best, with text, without change of modifier keys, and with the index which go up (than down) to stick with your effort map (but not with mine).

Even better for text only!
But when their is a lot of numbers or signs, the result fall a bit.
It's a good start to improve it for programation.
I stop here because it's an endless quest!
Good luck...
