Anyone have experience with Neovim and Colemak or Devorak keyboard layout?
https://github.com/jooize/vim-colemak plugin with common remappings for colemak. modify it to taste but it's a good start. the other commenter said switching layouts isn't worth it, in my case it cured rsi. you probably won't type faster though.

Practice typing by retyping ENTIRE novels
This is a pretty unavoidable downside of alt keyboard layouts. For vim you'd probably want a plugin like https://github.com/jooize/vim-colemak.
If you maintain your QWERTY muscle memory, you can use it as a fallback in foreign environments, but figuring out how to smoothly setup RC files on any target is probably the ideal: https://serverfault.com/questions/400522/how-to-use-a-custom...
Personally. I gave up on Dvorak in part due to this friction when I started introducing more and more tools like Vimperator (Firefox plugin, superseded by Tridactyl) into my workflow. The flexibility of switching on a vim mode anywhere and having it be 95% what I want is very high. The other factor was I still did a lot of same-machine peering then, which it added a lot of friction to. I do know highly capable engineers who go fully down the typing-ergonomics rabbit hole and stay there, but it does consume a fair amount of one's yak-shaving budget.

Does anyone have a neovim/vim config where all of the colemak keys are remapped to the qwerty keys?
If you still wanna remap keys, you should search for a plugin such as this. They usually do a good job of remapping every key and deal with plugins keymaps compatibility.

Just wondering. Is it?
Yes, very easily, people have even worked out suggested sensible keymaps for you. I think the main problem is if you're learning vim for the first time it's going to increase the learning curve quite a bit; commands like cib (change inside brackets) or yap (yank around paragraph), where you form instructions semantically, start using gibberish letters which increases the initial cognitive burden. You also can't use vi/vim on any other system.

I want to run a command when i go into normal mode , insert mode starting, and quitting vim.
Hi, I want to run a command to change my keyboard layout when i change from normal to insert, on start and exit. I have do some research I didn't find anything that I think would work. My current solution remaps the keys in a non vim like fashion.

Is it worth learning a new layout if you can already touch type QWERTY?
Yes I agree vim would break but I use [colemak.vim](https://github.com/sykora/etc/blob/master/vim/colemak.vim)
