It’s been two years now since I started to learn the alternate keyboard layout on my Macbook and I am still using the Colemak layout. I love it even though my speed has stagnated at 60 wpm. Considering I was not a touch typist before I started, that sustained speed is so far above (3x -4x faster) what I was doing it’s left me with little motivation to put in the necessary practice time to become faster. I am not someone that has to do a lot of typing for what I do so it’s easy to go a while with typing at all. Even so, I did meet my original objective that when I do type I am able to do type fast and comfortably.
Been two years…
