2 years agoI use Colemak. The issue is not learning the layout really, although it does take some time. The issue is now your QWERTY ability is gone so you look like a caveman any time you have to type on a device that isn’t yours. It took me just as much time to forget Colemak and go back to QWERTY.
However, I recently decided to learn Colemak while switching back to QWERTY intermittently to be able to use both. I guess I still have the muscle memory since I’m learning it much quicker this time, but my QWERTY is still perfectly fine.
tl;dr work is boring so im melting my brain with multiple keyboard layouts lol
I have never understood it. Reaching one key left or right is such a small movement to me. What I hate is reaching for g or j in colemak
