Slow Fingers: Week 2 of Colemak on the Moonlander

Tue, 27 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In the last post I mentioned my journey of attempting to learn the Colemak DH keyboard layout on the Moonlander keyboard.

I am now about one week into this journey.

Here is a little snapshot of my progress and overall thoughts.

Slow but consistent progress

I’ve committed to doing 30 minute sessions daily (not super strict on the weekends) on Keybr. You can configure the settings to prefer home row keys first. This is super useful for getting comfortable with which finger should rest on which key.

Moonlander: Split Keyboard and Split Brain

If you were to ask a programmer what their number one productivity tool in their arsenal is, I’d bet very few would say “a keyboard”.

This is the very perception I’m hoping to challenge with my purchase of the Moonlander keyboard.

Current typing setup

I’m currently typing this using a QWERTY layout on a Keychron K2, a 75% keyboard running Cherry MX Browns.

I’ve never fully learned to touch type and as a result I type at an average of 80 to 90 wpm. With an accuracy of around 90 to 95%.
