> Backspace is one of the top three most used keys for common computer usage
Where did you get this from? I'm trying to come up with a good layout for my Dactyl-Manuform, so it would be very helpful to know which keys are the most commonly used.

This is a post[1] from a fella who ran a key logger for a while. He found the top three most keys for his usage were Space, Backspace, and E. There are probably better datasets out there because it doesn't break things down, but I suspect Backspace is almost always up there.
For my layout, I have Enter and Space on the two home thumb keys and Shift and Backspace on the next outer keys. You can find my layout here[2] for more ideas if you're interested. It does however use palm keys that wouldn't be available on a DM.
