I cannot do this. Just because you can do so easily does not mean everyone can. I am apparently unable to segment my muscle memory like you seem to be able to

Just because you can do so easily does not mean everyone can. I am apparently unable to segment my muscle memory like you seem to be able to (I'm actually jealous you can do that!).
- gumby 3y agoI don't think it's any different from, say, speaking other languages or switching back and forth from countries that drive on different sides. These things just become automatic.
- eichin 3y agoBut that's not universal either; I have a friend who started losing english vocabulary when they first learned french. (The collected-anecdote metaphor (not, afaik backed up by any particular cognitive science) seems to be having "slots" for language, one-vs-two-vs-many...)
- lawn 3y agoI just think it comes down to practice, like being able to speak multiple languages or program in different programming languages. And something that can help is to differentiate your layout physically. In my case an entirely different keyboard, but even something like pressing space with the other hand can help keep them separate.
