# Colemak Layout - Beginning
|
|
|
|
I write a lot. On average I write a few kilobytes of text per day. This has been
|
|
adding up and is taking a huge toll on my hands, especially considering the
|
|
Covid situation. Something needs to change. I've been working on learning a new
|
|
keyboard layout: [Colemak](https://colemak.com).
|
|
|
|
This post will be shorter than most of my posts because I'm writing it with
|
|
Colemak enabled on my iPad. Writing this is painfully slow at the moment. My
|
|
sentences are short and choppy because those are easier to type.
|
|
|
|
I also have a [ZSA Moonlander](https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/) on the way, it
|
|
should be here in October or November. I will also be sure to write about that
|
|
once I get it in the mail.
|
|
|
|
So far, I have about 30 words per minute on the homerow, but once I go off the
|
|
homerow the speed tanks to less than about five.
|
|
|
|
However, I am making progress!
|
|
|
|
Be well all, don't stress your hands out.
