At the suggestion of @ploum , I have started to use @thumbkey by @dessalines and I love it. It’s a bit of a struggle after having used qwerty and azerty screen keyboards for so long, but I’m already going quite fast with it, while doing less typos. This is very interesting. I have the french layout but it’s also quite easy to use for english text. Here is the toot that inspired me https://mamot.fr/@ploum/113945303642550960

edit: it’s on fdroid of course

    My journey on desktop keyboards was from qwerty, then dvorak for like 5 years, then halmak for many years now.

    It only takes about one painful week to get back up to about 80% of your speed anyway. Much less work than trying to learn another language.

      I have some vague memories from around when I started dvorak that there were other, yet more efficient keyboard schemes but I don’t remember looking much into them… Let me google halmak!

      Edit: Oh shit! I typed that on the default google keyboard…
