> Do you pull the keys from your keyboard and rearrange them physically? Imo, that's a terrible idea. It just encourages the bad habit of looking at the keyboard. Learn to touch type, memorize the layout. > But again: how to learn it efficiently without a lot of frustrating typing errors? I don't think there's any way to avoid frustrating typing errors (except patience), but there are programs for training touch typing. Pick a weekend (or longer holiday), switch your layout, put a cheatsheet on the screen or print one out[1], start hammering your favorite touch typing program. Don't switch back to your original layout! The temptation to go back is huge since typing is so slow and frustrating at first. Just don't. [1] A cheatsheet that is not literally on your keycaps is much harder to "cheat" with. Which means you can throw it away in a day or two because it'll no longer be useful; recalling the layout from memory will be faster.
