it's beautiful and I would love to use it, but lack of right shift is a hard pass... I wouldn't be able to get used to it

Are there statistics on how popular the right shift is?
(I don't think I've ever used it as far as I'm concerned)

to be fair I think it could be language specific. I'm Polish and I was taught to use right shift during typing classes in elementary school lol. For me, to use left shift only, it would mean fighting against 20+ years of muscle memory.

Yeah I can completely understand. I also type in other languages and it's a lot to learn or unlearn either ways

I would imagine missing the right alt is even more important for Polish.

Most european languages, yes. I'm slovene, and most 'special' characters that are usually found on the base/shift layer on an ANSI board are on the AltGR layer.
