Your question is equivalent to saying "is there a way to put commands in
mly car a more friendly way".
It is important that people find thiungs where they are used to find
them. Every placement will need some learning for the beginners, and
changing things won't help beginners and will confuse experienced users.
At the beginiing of minitel in France (a terminal allowing to access
directories and other networking services) builders chose to have an
alphabetic keyboard "more friendly". Second version had the traditional
french AZERTY Keyboard, for this exact reason : it did not help
beginners and confused people who knew to use a keyboard.
