I would love if #FrameworkLaptop allowed us to customize the keyboard layout (and super key) before buying the keybord. It would be so awesome to have a #ColemakDH Framework laptop keyboard with a #linux super key!

Ok, I think this is the final form!

Dear #MechanicalKeyboards folks, I've decided to give up.
I've switched my #ErgoDash to #ColemakDH in mid October (see marcoxbresciani.codeberg.page/ ) but I've never been a touch-typer and it's very difficult to find even 20 minutes per day for training (see keybr.com/profile/f5vmplt ).
While working I'm slowing down everyone, waiting for me typing and doing bunch of errors.
I don't think I'll continue: I'm updating my #QMK layers to go back to #QWERTY.
20+ years of QWERTY are hard to change.

My daily driver Reviung41, using the ZMK firmware on a nice!nano wireless micro controller. A fun but challenging build!

Ich habe mir viele Beispiele dazu angesehen, wie bzw. mit welchem Layout andere Nutzer ihr Split-Keyboard belegt haben. Auf der Basisebene habe ich mich für Colemak-DH entschieden.
colemakmods.github.io/mod-dh/k
Alles andere habe ich mit drei weiteren, noch nicht vollständig ausgenutzten Layern abgedeckt. Die unglaublich vielen Möglichkeiten bei der Programmierung der Tastatur finde ich jedenfalls grandios.

Mal sehen, ob der alte Sack das alles auch noch lernt.

I still have to update my #ErgoDash online "diary", but I took another step into the #MechanicalKeyboards rabbit hole: today I've swapped my keycaps (these: ymdkey.com/products/107-dsa-pr) to finally go with #ColemakDH (colemakmods.github.io/mod-dh/).
It's still not the default layer, and I'm not a touch-typer, but it's one click away when I turn on the PC, and it's about time to learn!
I'm sure I'll get crazy learning it, but... why not!? 😇

Hello #Colemak and #ColemakDH experts out there.
I would like to have your hints, ideas and guidelines on my thoughts.

The most famous layouts are English-based, but what if I want to create something based on Italian letters frequencies?

I was even thinking to use #ngrams data from marcoxbresciani.codeberg.page/ but even if I have those numbers, I have no idea on how to use them to create a better #Italian-based #ColemakDH layout.

Also, is it worth it?

Hints? Ideas? Help!

Just hit 100+WPM on my #colemak dh keyboard after daily-driving it for 1.5 years! 🏆 I feel like I've crossed a finish line. #keeb #colemak #colemakdh #typing #electronics #keyboard

80 #wpm #typing #speed with #colemakDH, I'm more or less at the same speed I used to have with #workman (90wpm).

#colemakDH ~16 hours of active practise (keybr+monkeytype) over ~2 months = ~40wpm

(Thanks @webshinra for the push!)

Finished changing the switches on my #ergoDoxEZ and I am now rocking the clicky's. Should prevent some characters being entered by an errant finger, and sounds cool to boot.

Also changed my layout to #colemakDH as that's what I'm learning. I'm still on the first 5 keys, but having the layout there should help sink it in.

an Ergo Dox EZ by ZSA (a split matrix layout keyboard) where the left side has no keycaps and the switches have been changed to milky green switches (from plain brown) and the right side is yet to be changed.the same Ergo Dox EZ this time with all the keycaps back where they belong and this time showing a Colemak-dh layout.

Liked the new and improved (or old and rebranded?) Linux Dev Time podcast from @LateNightLinux family. I've sent it to my son who's been struggling the last couple of weeks in year 2 at Uni with what suspiciously sounds like #burnout.

Funny that they mentioned having an #ergoDoxEZ #keyboard and needed time to re-learn how to type. Made me feel better that I'm still struggling. Might help if I didn't try to learn #colemakDH at the same time, but... traffic.libsyn.com/latenightli

Hadn't done a #monkeytype test in a while, and looks like my #ColemakDH #wpm is up to 56!! And with 95% accuracy. Pretty happy with the (gradual) progress.
