Alternate to the Isomorphic keyboard layout

I'd really love to see an alternate option to the Isomorphic keyboard layout. I understand many love it, but after 6 months i still cant stand it. I find it uncomfortable to play and would much prefer each line representing an octave. I play guitar and piano, but this really doesn't translate for me. I often plug in a midi keyboard just to play chords because doing it with this layout is too awkward. Changing it to octave to octave would allow a layout more similar to a piano, and moving your finger one line up would allow easier voicing and inversions of chords! I own a circuit as well, and going back and forth would be easier.
Thanks!

Yes this feature would be fantastic
It would be great if we could set the horizontal and vertical steps in number of halftones. That would allow the existing setup, your desired setup, a setup that makes major and minor triads super easy to play by just "drawing a corner" with your fingers, etc.
I fall into the hate it group too, I’d prefer an octave of the selected scale per row too. I never use the isomorphic mode.
I would prefer a global user defineable offset:
so +5 is like it's now implemented
+12 would be octave
So anyone could choose their prefered keyboard layout
