In case you're landing here...
I’m sharing updates on my journey switching keyboard layouts, from standard QWERTY to something called Colemak-dh which is designed with an optimal key layout based on the most popular words in English.
You can read more about it here.
Thoughts
- happy with some additional progress
- accuracy is good
Something to consider
At this point, I am ‘unlocking’ keys as I reach thresholds set (e.g. 20wpm, 25wpm, etc.)
This mode doesn’t limit the keys used in words or ignore if previously unlocked key-speeds start to slow down (below the threshold) as new keys are unlocked.
Spoiler alert: I later realize this and change it for better stacked learning - and not just key-by-key.
Data
From here on out, updates should be fairly simple, just screenshot with a summary of comments (above).
