I have heard reports of people being able to know both layouts. There is a section in the Colemak website regarding it. Although, you will have to re-learn qwerty after you learn another layout.
- wbolster 10y agomany consider it best to touch type your normal layout (colemak, qwerty) and to use hunt-and-peck when forced to use qwerty. it helps not messing up muscle memory for the normal layout, since hunt and peck is a conscious effort.
- NoGravitas 10y agoI learned to touch-type QWERTY in high school. 20 years later, I learned to touch-type Colemak, and eventually got up to the same speed. For a while, I couldn't really touch-type QWERTY. But gradually I regained the ability. It still helps for me to be looking at the keyboard, so that I have a different context to go with the different layout. But I am still using 10 fingers when typing QWERTY.
