How to master a new layout?
For special symbols, there was actually a dedicated web app; I can't find it atm though a quick search yields results such as typing.io. You can also import such text into an universal typing-practice application such as Amphetype.

Practice typing by retyping ENTIRE novels
I have recently started trying to learn colemak[^3], and came across the great cross-platform tool Amphetype[^1].
You can load in whatever document you want as a source, and it'll randomly select chunks of whatever size you want (i.e. about 200 words-worth). It then gives you analysis of your performance, as well as breaking down what trigrams and words cause you the most trouble.
Combine this with ngram training to get the muscle memory of the most common chunks of english and you can really quickly improve your fluency [^2].

Where is the best place to learn how to type faster?
Keep statistics that show you progress (because of motivation) and allow you to identify areas that you should improve. Specifically, I recommend using Amphetype, because it tracks typing fluency (latency between keystrokes) among other things.

Show HN: I made a game to improve my typing speed
It's gotta be fun, and Typing for the Dead is a good one.

More recently though, there's https://monkeytype.com/ and https://play.typeracer.com/ which are fun little breaks during the day.

Been at this for 6 months, need advice
Try a small change and sometimes a drastic one (like dropping a column or row) and mash keybr.com and monkeytype.com until it feels natural, or not then revert. And if I revert I often try again a few weeks later...

Why my neovim lags so much?
It works normal in small projects but when I open for example monkeytype and edit a file it lags so much that sometime it crashes.

Keyboard Shortcut Database Website
I had a really useful website bookmarked in the past, which let you enter a keyboard shortcut and see what programs used that same shortcut. It was really helpful if I needed to create a keyboard shortcut that I knew wouldn't conflict with Windows or any other programs I used. I feel like the site's color scheme was dark gray and yellow/orange, similar to monkeytype.com, but I could be misremembering.

Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing
If you are a 2 finger typist and also think people are "obsessing over WPM" because they're wanting to utilize their own tools to the fullest advantage, that sounds like some mental block kind of thing.
If you can type at least 80 consistently then thats probably would I imagine the dividing line is between "flow/concentration not breaking" and "breaks constantly"
Try a 50 word monkeytype https://monkeytype.com/
