Why haven't you switched to colemak yet?

My phone would still be QWERTY as would everyone else's keyboards.
>>
>>60098888

why should i?
>>
>>60098913
In fact the colemak layout is not intended for mobile devices
>>
>>60098968
It places the most used letters on the same row improving writing speed
>>
>>60098977
I never said it was, I was just pointing out that then I'd be switching keyboard layouts based on what device I'm using.
>>
>>60098888
Waste of time and effort.
>>
>>60098997

not in my language

>>60099018
this
>>
>>60098888
The improvement in wpm is minimal compared to the effort and using another device becomes more difficult
>>
It took me years to be able to barely touch type on qwerty. Fuck learning again.
>>
>>60098888
colemak doesn't look too bad, it's basically qwerty but better
everyone's just gong to keep going with qwerty anyway, though
also, it's no good for mobile
>>
>>60098888
this is retarded

I tried, but I couldn't play my video games.

I don't have the autistic need to spend many months adjusting my muscle memory to my keyboard for a 2.5% improved writing speed while rendering all other keyboards I come across as alien devices that I can't type on.
>>
>>60098888
Quads of truth

>>60099036
Is about comfort, not WPM
>>
>>60098888
Why learn a new layout?
I already type fast enough.

>>60099056
explain

i tried switching to dvorak a while ago
it made me incredibly dizzy and nauseous so i had to switch back

Because Workman is superior.

Colemak is not as hard as Dvorak
>>
I've been using QWERTY since I first picked up Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing in the 90s. It's in my DNA. It'd be like learning to walk and talk again.
>>
I'm left handed so QWERTY is objectively best :3
>>
>>60099352
When I switched to colemak 1 year ago I started to type at the same speed as with qwerty in less than 3 weeks.
>>
>>60099289
>>60099304
Quale spazzatura, Luigi!
>>
>anon why are you typing like a retard?
>because your stupid OS doesn't support my special snowflake layout! if it did, i'd type 2% faster than you!

Colemak user here.

I'm way worse at qwerty now.
All good OSs support colemak, but Windows doesn't and makes it really hard to add
>>
>>60098913
>>60099002
You can easily switch your phone to colemak too.

There's not a real point, but you can if it bothers you.
>>
>>60098888
How hard is it to use other people's QWERTY keyboards once you get used to an alternative layout?
>>
>switching keyboard layout

Because I have better things to do than to overcome muscle memory for the most minor of benefits
>>
>Not inventing your own custom layout specially optimized for lightning fast shitposting

I have been using it for a few months, keep forgetting caps lock is backspace

Why haven't you switched to sucking my dick

>lol just take 10 years to get back up to your typing speed
no thanks lad

That's the opposite of what I implied. Learn to read.

>Dealing with config EVERY time you want to use a live CD/DVD/USB.
>Every work(company) computer you EVER come into contact with will be QWERTY. This means changing the config, which may not be allowed or practical, then changing it back when you walk away, otherwise people will be pissed; or having to use QWERTY every time you touch a computer other than yours.
What's the point of learning and training yourself to type on Colemak when 99.9999999999999% of computers that aren't yours use QWERTY? You're just torturing yourself at that point. That was the whole reason I gave up on Dvorak.

It's not.

>>60098997
I already type 100+wpm on a qwerty

why bother switching to a non standard keyboard
>>
>>60099077
funny enough, qwerty is like riding a bike. you'll fuck up like 2 words before your brain auto switches into it. its kinda like knowing multiple languages.
