Colemak

I’m slowly learning a new keyboard layout, Colemak. It was invented in around 2005 with the goal of being more efficient than QWERTY and Dvorak, and be easier to learn for QWERTY typists. It keeps ZXCVAQW in the same place for common shortcuts, as well as most punctuation. The hardest part about it is that my fingers can’t keep pace with my thoughts, and that is paralyzing for the writing process! If you’re interested in learning more, visit Colemak.com. No special hardware or software is required, just install the layout for your operating system and start training!
