Comment on Any good tools for learning blind typing?
nitroemdash@lemmy.wtf 2 weeks agoLearned Colemak there, liked it. Unfortunately, no support for more niche layouts, like regional variants of Colemak.

Shit, I’ve checked it and now I’m thinking about learning a new layout. Thanks. Like I didn’t have enough things to do…

As a Colemak user I highly encourage people to learn a different layout. The thing that convinced me to Colemak was this: www.patrick-wied.at/projects/heatmap-keyboard/
Paste some long text you have written and it will show you a heat map on different layouts to see how the typing of that text on that layout would have been. I loaded a large code I was working on and Colemak was mostly home row.

Not that it matters that much for touch typing but while I can’t switch around keys in my external keyboard I can’t change it in my laptop. Did you simply accept it that keys don’t match your layout and move on?

If you have to look at the keyboard you’re doing it wrong. My main board had blank keys, my laptop has the qwerty keys, I just don’t look at them
