When you are drilling new keys but you absolutely do not want to look at the layout map that shows the keys you are supposed to know already.

    Ech what a nightmare. I figure I have one shot at an alt layout before my brain plasticity finally gives out so Colemak DH it is.

    I hear you re: row stagger. I actually just realised in terms of touch typing the keys on the bottom row are shifted one column/one finger compared to a column staggered keyboard. Just as well I caught that before CDVK got too engrained.

      Hey just anecdotal, but I find the first alt layout to be the most difficult (I went from long time dvorak to semimak if that matters). My brain started adapting to the fact that it has to adapt to new layouts once I started experimenting more alt layouts. Point is, don’t get stuck on colemak 😅.

        I’m currently going from Dvorak to semimak and it’s been challenging lol. There seem to be a lot of Dvorak->semimak people out there
