That's really cool! How long did it take you to go from zero to 60 wpm with Colemak?
It seems I am were you were - a solid 80 wpm with self-taught QWERTY, but I want to learn the proper way. So I though I could learn Colemak while I'm at it. Was it worth the switch?
@kristianlein I believe it took me about a month or so to get up to 60. I'm now around 90 after a few months.
I would say it depends. Colemak feels way more comfortable when typing and is pretty efficient, but you have to carry around a portable key mapper for Windows (not for OSX/Linux) machines as of now when not using your PC. QWERTY has the advantage of being standard on every computer/device. I definitely suggest learning it though, I have no regrets and absolutely love typing now.
@needmorereality all right, needmorereality, thanks for your advice. I will take it and see this to the end. I feel like I'm really hitting the wall though :) Looking forward to feel comfortable in front of a keyboard again!
