The goal isn't really to type fast with ergonomic designs (as with this design goal). It's really about minimizing RSI's. WPM can be sacrificed to an extent.
Being able to type faster in relation to coding has diminishing returns which is why people don't go over to steno.
Very few of us need to do speech dictation.
- loloquwowndueo 5y agoUsing a steno keyboard also has ergonomic benefits - less movement to produce same amount of output. Court scribes do that all day and RSI would anecdotally seem less prevalent than in IT fields.
- irjustin 5y agoah fair! but man talk about a learning curve. Looking deeper at "steno for coding" isn't really a space, there's a few videos and articles but that's about it. I don't think it's viable/real.
