Title: Is this a good way to learn colemak?
Post by: prpnightmare on Thu, 14 July 2011, 00:27:22

Since I don't get much time for formal practice, I've switched my layout to colemak and now use that for my basic browsing, with the help of the color coded key sheet. My question is, how viable is this tactic?

I'm old school. Just do it as much as possible. Cold turkey. Obviously exercises will help, but after a few days (several hours) it's just a matter of muscle memory. The more you do it, the sooner you get better.

Anything involving typing, whether it is websurfing or Typeracer racing, is viable.

That's exactly how I learned Dvorak.
