Actually, after typing many hundreds of pages of notes that way on a
computer keyboard, my conclusion was different: mimicking a piano  
keyboard
is not the most ergonomic mapping. I'm using the keyboard mapping  
suggested
by a user and described here:

The less you move your hands, the faster you are. With this layout,  
only the
fingers are moving. It's not really about being more natural, but  
efficient.
Indeed this "unnatural" layout requires some training. But then how  
quick it
is.
