vim-colemak VS monkeytype

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.

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on Dvorak in part due to this friction when I started introducing more and more tools like Vimperator (Firefox plugin, superseded by Tridactyl) into my workflow.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.

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.

Plugins probably to make your hands stay at QWERTY layout

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.

When i tried switch to colemak, i found this plugin https://github.com/jooize/vim-colemak

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.

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.

Check out these words. These are 10 words from the English 1k word list on monkeytype.com

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...

Average typing speed when typing a >50 word long quote. If you don't know your average typing speed, you can test yourself at https://monkeytype.com/.

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.

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.

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"
