I have been dreading writing the chapter about QWERTY and Dvorak for months. But now that it’s next on the docket, I find myself really excited to tackle it. Perhaps going through other tough chapters emboldened me, or perhaps there’s a huge element of randomness to all this.
And what about colemak and qwerak ? Asking for a friend ;-)(20 years of Dvorak typing here)
There will be there, too, although not sure in what capacity. :·)
Not much except for playing with the Dvorak typewriter I have.
Find a trained typist of the respective layout, let them touch-type a given text and record just their fingers in action, maybe next to the screencast - normalize to a common speed for the full text between all recordings, compare.
see how the qwerty typist just runs over the keyboard like a mad chicken, the dvorak guy left/right/left/right homerow, and now and then one of the other keys... colemak - don't know ;-) in the end get a picture of the effort required.
Also, WHAT DID YOU CALL ME
Afair you should see inward rolls with colemak, pinky to thumb - but would be really interested to see that ;-)
