Double press on dot for comma will increase the speed of typing, because now we have 2 possibillities:
1) long press on dot - its too long
2) shift+dot - often mistakes
or even better will be separate comma and dot like in English version. Mqybe at  right of space button (or moove button 'top' to the right, and replace right shift with comma).

or maybe in settings config button like circle next to "Fn"

I was mainly trying to reproduce the original layout and not try to second-guess the design decisions behind the layout, though I agree that it appears odd not to have a comma key directly available.

Are there commonly used hardware keyboards in Russia that do this differently? I'm reluctant to make nonstandard changes in the default layout.

Double-pressing "." to generate "," may cause issues, for example a user may be trying to actually type multiple periods in a row, and it would also be messy to implement, so I'd prefer to avoid that option.

Other than that, I'm hoping to make progress on the long-delayed user customizable layouts (issue 13) which would let users make such modifications directly.

Yes, #13 - will be great!
Our hardware keyboards not very comfortabble, because comma appears in text more often than dot. there is some articles about it from famous and largest russian designer and design studio.
anyway, #13 - will solve that problem.
thanks!

Ok, thanks for clarifying, I'll treat this as a duplicate for #13.
