Glad I could help! for bigrams like ou I feel it natural, when the second letter can be started from the point where the swipe gesture from the first letter ended.

In that case, I attached you a screenshot of my personal layout. I tried optimizing for
- roughly qwertz positions to easen learning curve
- most common german monograms, bigrams and some trigrams (confer how you’d input “sch” with a very quick diagonal tap tap swipe gesture with only one change in one dimension, staying on one axis)
- keeping ergonomics in mind, optimized for right hand use and positioning more common letters with more easy to execute gestures, and having as few out of bounds gestures as possible
- not ignoring english completely
I really should update my thumb key
I tried the layouts of thumbkey, it didn’t click, so I made a private fork that gives you roughly the same positions as on a qwerty (in my case localised german qwerty with umlauts). I’m slower than on normal keyboards, but that doesn’t matter, as the display of my phone is absurdly small (3 inch unihertz jelly star).
my “mod” was built years ago, and since then lots of things have changed in the thumb key codebase. I should really update and redo my keyboard layout



Seriously, please let that sink in! I desperately need my plumber to fix that sink once and for all
