Greetings, what keyboard layouts do you know and use regularly? What is your experience with them?

I’ve learned Colemak about a year ago, and got very familiar with it, to the point where I forget QWERTY. I was planning to learn Dvorak, but I’m kind of hesitant, given how much effort I’ve already poured into Colemak…

    that was kind of my thought process, that at some point it becomes a lot less about the actual layout and a lot more about the amount of practice… like, for example, one of the fastest typers at the moment uses QWERTY, so probably doesn’t matter that much…

    but it would interesting in any case to scientifically, or at least from experience, to find out whether finger rolling layouts are superior/inferior to hand alternation layouts

      It’s probably down to what you find best depending on what you type and how you do it. There might be a scientific experiment which shows a majority favourite or quicker one, but at the end of the day, the best one is the one you find most comfortable.
