Feel free to post it as a patch to the tracker, and someone will most likely add it.

Read this: http://www.almaden.ibm.com/u/zhai/papers/ZhaiHunterSmithHCIGalley.pdf

It describes the theory behind the OptiII layout (more interesting than you might think) and explains that it is optimised for exactly the 'hunt and peck' scenario you described...

Mikerman:
Fascinating stuff, that; I just don't know if I have the energy to learn another keyboard . . . .

;)

Wow it just tested this, much better than the tiny default!  Glad I stumbled onto this.  I can follow the link that was given above to

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/LoadableKeyboardLayouts

but how do I navigate there in the wiki?  The top of the page shows:  TWiki  > Main  > LoadableKeyboardLayouts, but when I go to TWiki  > Main  I can't see any link to the keyboard page.  Just curious if there whole sections of the wiki I am missing...
