That was exactly what I built for Russian and English, see my linked thread. It ended up not working as well as I imagined. Maybe I should be smarter with the layout instead of making it alphabetical.

> 8pen/8vim

Neither of them support Russian :(

8vim does have a Ukrainian layout file but while similar, there are some letters that Russian has but Ukrainian lacks (ы э ъ ё). Though I suppose I can make a pull request.

edit: I installed and tried 8vim. While a nice idea and I can see myself using it, this whole layers thing does kinda ruin it and you do need layers for a Cyrillic alphabet if you also want to have punctuation. 8vim also lacks the ability to quickly switch languages.

You might want to try out MessagEase, which is a flick syle keyboard like the Japanese ones mentioned above.

There's room for a lot of punctuation on the same layer as the alphabet, plus support for ctrl/alt/F-keys. I find it great for working with ssh.
