![]() That it's so new is a nice bonus in that I can't say I should have learned this years ago. I was not far along on dvorak so I thought I would try it. I came across Colemak in my research of Dvorak and it intrigued me. I was training using Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor program. Dvorak's placement of punctuation is really annoying. I got up to maybe about 20 WPM but was doing a lot of pivoting with my right wrist. DVORAK is okay but I have a bent bone from an old break in my right pinky that makes it annoying to have L and, where Dvorak placed them. and I was able to find some useful online touch typing lesson programs. ![]() I started learning the DVORAK layout simply because it was clearly more efficient and Mac OSX has the DVORAK-QWERTY option that allows use of the command key for normal cut and paste, etc. I hunt and peck on a QWERTY keyboard at about 20-30 WPM (as well making good use of command histories and auto complete), but recently I decided enough of this. When I was in school touch typing was considered a vocational class for those destined to not go to college. I have been using computers for decades but never learned touched typing in school or after. Pretty much I am completely switched from QWERTY except the occasional password and the fact that the OSX user account login window remains QWERTY regardless. ![]() My 19th day typing with colemak and I am starting to break past 20 WPM (according to Ktouch) without a remapping of the backspace key.
