qwpr layout came out in 2013, created by Jameson Quinn. (he sent me his layout ~~https://plus.google.com/116662972767974604432/posts~~)

This layout is similar to QWERTY, only 11 letter key changed. But it also define layers to let you type some math symbols, and cursor movement.

qwpr keyboard layout by Jameson Quinn 3 — the qwpr layout, and some of its layers.

note: Colemak moved 17 keys.

one interesting feature of qwpr layout is that it incorporates navigation keys (← → ↑ ↓) and also Tab and Return in one of the layer. Also, it lets you type many language chars (e.g. é ü ñ …) and Unicode symbols.
