With your right index on D instead of F the keys 6, T, G and B are too far to be easily used for a lot of people, especially when your index basic position is W/Z instead of S (that meakes even V hard to reach without losing your base hand position).

I would also add that only the numbers are useful for skills, since you can't really remap your keys every time you change job (or I just didn't search enough, in that case forget this part of the comment). You can't use most your list for ability. Basically, from those 18 button you pretend are usable, you can only use 6 for actual skills.
Oh, I hear you. I have to move my hand out of position to even hit the '6' key. My point is that's the extreme and it only really leaves us with 36 max for the extreme. So, people asking for more than that are basically forcing you into contortionism.

I would like to see it more like 24 or less. I think proc-based gameplay is a lot more engaging, personally. I'm firmly in the more keys does not equal more skill.
