Okay, just quoting a post twice counts as botty enough. You're reported, evil machina!
]]>DreymaR is thinking of another ghaz though! I wish I knew Russian!
]]>Ghaz happily types Colemak still, as far as I know. He's only moderately active in this forum (which would count as pretty inactive in some other forums, I guess).
He's a contributor, having made a Russian Colemak (Rulemak) and having done development on MessagEase layouts. Great guy! :-)
]]>I typed on Qwerty for over 30 years. DreymaR's Tarmak method finally gave me the gradual methodology I needed to move to a better keyboard layout. Although Dvorak may be better established, and other new-comers may be technically (marginally) superior, Colemak represents to me the sweet spot. Better than Dvorak and only (IMO) insignificantly improved upon by others, Colemak keeps my geek CTRL-keys where they belong (all the ones I regularly use, anyway), it's better supported than ever before (even rivaling Dvorak), and (for me the final piece of the puzzle) the Tarmak transition method puts it truly within reach of people who actually have to keep getting work done while working on the transition.
Thank you again, Shai Coleman, DreymaR, ghaz and lalop for all the contributions along the way that made this possible!
]]>Very happy, given that it's taken about 3 months. I'm definitely plateauing but I hope to hit around 100 WPM again in the next 6-9 months. That extra 20 WPM isn't so important to me compared to the comfort, and I'll get there anyway.
]]>Thanks again for Tarmak. I don't think I could've switched without it!
]]>As for VIM, I eventually gave in and I'm using a vanilla layout without remapping hjkl.
