It was a real game changer for me. If you combine it with layers for accessing numbers, arrows, symbols, home/end etc without moving your hand, it makes typing so much comfier and faster

Funny enough I use Colemak with my ergonomic (split, columnar stagger) keyboards only, and qwerty on mobile (and on my laptop since it has qwerty keyboard labels).

I recommend, in order of increasing effort:

  1. briefly learn touch typing but then develop your own style with a more relaxed wrist position that de-emphasizes excessive hand movement, uncomfortable movements and crazy pinky stretches
  2. get a columnar stagger, split keyboard
  3. learn colemak (I like Colemak DH)

I used to switch back and forth between qwerty and qwertz on two different computers, and the laptop unlock passwords had a z in them. That was tough times.

I don't know if they do but if they do I doubt they've improved. The technique taught by many touch typing courses is a recipe for a wrist injury. It blows my mind that regulatory bodies aren't calling for keyboard layout reform. The "normal" row stagger keyboard as well as the qwerty layout should be in museums, not on billions of "modern" computers around the world.

It blows my mind that Linus is just so darn based all the time. That guy has a good take on like every issue.

Well then don't comment at all. Like I said I am happy to hear your arguments but now you just made me frustrated...

I'm pretty sure the reason you're getting spammed with insults is that you have a very abrasive commenting style. At least that's my opinion based on the last two I've read :D

If the pressure is right u should be able to get everything, but yeah even then you need to dry it.

what? I like them but I'm happy to hear your arguments if you would articulate them.

"You're wrong I'm right but I won't tell you why" is the opposite of a useful comment

When people think a bidet is stupid, I always ask: If you had poop on your arm, would you clean it with water or just wipe it with a dry towel and call it a day?

Not to mention it's less irritating for ur bum

yeah but this isn't newcomers making noise. This is seasoned devs making meaningful contributions, and getting reactionary responses
