Author is using Colemak [1], and essentially using it as a way to force relearning how to actually type with &quot;proper&quot; form. It&#x27;s an interesting idea, but unfortunately the author is only a week in and typing only 20 WPM.<p>Has anyone had experience learning an alternate keyboard layout? How long did it take? How did it affect your typing speed?<p>Also curious, does it help with coding? Personally, I find it&#x27;s very rare that my typing is a bottleneck with coding, but I&#x27;m still curious if skills on an alternate layout actually translate meaningfully to coding.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Keyboard_layout#Colemak" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Keyboard_layout#Colemak</a>
