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
- missed a week of practice and several screenshot due to a vacation
- this update represents about 3 weeks of 3-4 days/week - 30 min typing training
- switched the mode so that words and keys are limited to what is unlocked
- new mode is basically like starting over
- any previously unlocked key that slows below threshold will re-lock it AND all other keys after it until it is back above threshold again
- starting to see the progress slow WAY down as new keys are unlocked
- having to go back and repeat several keys that slow after other new ones
- accuracy still ok
