Naginata Style (薙刀式) Update

Back in August 2025, I wrote up an explanation of the kana-based Naginata Style keyboard layout for typing Japanese. Lately I have started doing touch typing practise with this, and have just updated to Naginata Style v17 from Jan 2026. Time for a brief review, including how I've tweaked it for slightly smaller keyboards.
