Even Out Character Distribution
As a user, not a developer, of this fine node module, I have to say after reading the installation instructions I have but one gripe, and it is a very specific (if minor) one.
For installing a new module (in this case typing it into my editor by reading it from my napkin that I took to my friend's or something) I do not at all mind using all of the keys on my 105 key keyboard, but I'd love to avoid using one key many times and another not at all. You know, in order to have the color on the caps wear off evenly. If I have to install this module a bunch of times I mean.
It's fine for numbers and symbols to be a bit more frequent than letters, which I use a lot for other languages, mostly natural ones. But can this be evened out a bit in general? The characters seem repetitive at first glance.
Thank you for the module though. Oh, and a mnemonic would be nice so I don't always need the napkin for installation. Might make that another ticket.
