Huh, so you use Colemak on computer and QWERTY on iPhone? I assumed I'd have to switch everything over in order to get much of a benefit. But if this is viable I might give it a try. I figured I'd have to switch everything over, which would make things difficult when my wife borrows my phone, for example.
Can I ask if you code much? Unlike most HNers, I don't, so I'm interested in its usefulness for writing emails and such, not the special chars used mostly for coding.
Thanks for the feedback!
- toyg 3y agoI'm not a programmer, but the advantages of Colemak are fundamentally related to writing English. Programming doesn't get any real boost, special characters are still an afterthought (pretty much all on right pinkie). And yeah, i only use Colemak on laptops/desktops. I don't use external keyboards with phones and tablets, so it's all done with two thumbs, which have their own muscle memory.
