    Tipp10 is a programm that I used to get into using all my 10 fingers while typing.

    You can use it in your Browser but there are also downloads for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.

    When I was learning dvorak, I used typing.com . It did help me get up to around 70% of my original speed within a few weeks.

      Is there specific reason to change keyboard layout?

        There are a lot of reasons to use different keyboard layouts. The speed claims IMO are incorrect, but the reducing discomfort and repetitive strain problems by placing the most used letters under your fingers, is def a bonus. You can read some of the design philosophies on its wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_keyboard_layout

            If I were to start over, I’d pry go with halmak. But for the most part I’ll support anyone who chooses something other than qwerty :smiling face:

    Is any 0f these libre?


    Also, while not precisely designed for that, I learned to use all my fingers while typing thanks to Duolingo. What I did is to type really slow but using all the punctuation marks, capital letters, and so on. I was practicing German and there every noun is written with capitals so that also helped, plus it felt better since I was killing two birds in one shot.

      Monkeytype is open source (code on GitHub), but uses Firebase for hosting and the whole source is really tied to it as far as I undertand. Also they use Discord for everything, going from quote submission to feature requests and bug reports. GitHub is also used but I’ve always felt like the dev’s attention is mostly the Discord.

      Otherwise it’s pretty great and the most feature-full of them all IMO. Literally everything is customizable and there’s lots of modes to play around with. I’ve been using it to learn Colemak-DH the past months and it’s been really fun.
