With reference to Dvorak, what do you mean about moving stuff to the bottom row?

This is the bottom row in Dvorak on a UK keyboard:

Sure, there's bmw, but that's about it.  The other graphs aren't that frequent.

What's considered easy and not is a matter of perspective. For me, it's a refreshing thought that the same Extend mappings are with me always.

If you're frustrated at losing much speed at once, you might consider [shameless plug] a Tarmak intermediate step [/shameless plug]. One user did that and found he could switch to Colemak (eventually) without substantial speed loss.

See my 'Make your own physical Colemak keyboard' topic for a number of solutions. You don't need a lot of nub, the fingers are sensitive. I can orient well with the F nub in its Colemak position so it's only the right-hand that's a problem for me. I've been known to borrow a nubbed KeyPad 5 key to the N position which only looks slightly silly and works well.

Other suggestions from that topic is carefully cutting the key with a sharp knife, carefully pushing up a ridge of plastic with a soldering iron (I've done it) and using a dab of glue (which should be reversible if that's an advantage). Plus the many sticker options available from Hooleon and others.

After another week or two you will get to the critical point when you will be confused about both layouts Azerty and Colemak and it will seem that you can't make any progress with Colemak but you can't type well with Azerty either.

Be brave and drop Azerty completely at that point to concentrate on Colemak only. Your Colemak muscle memory should have a chance to grow to automatic touchtyping, and full time Colemak typing is required.

Your Colemak speed will be around 40 by then, so that's no problem to you anyway.

Yes, but it helps to slow down and be careful on your accuracy. I used to do some races on the accuracy universe, and then I'd go to the normal one and just aim for accuracy higher than 98 or 99%.. so pretty much one error per text. It gives you a little bit of freedom.

Hey Culinax. I'm just getting started on Colemak and I'm quite impressed that you're progressing so fast (for comparison, it's taking me forever to write this post).

Out of curiosity, how much time per day (on average) do you spend practicing in Colemak? Do you fall back on Azerty the rest of the time or have you given up on it completely?

Yes, accuracy is very nice. Accuracy universe is too brutal for me, but I've used Amphetype with texts and common words. It's mostly about training with an accuracy focus, to get good flow without pressing for speed (which will come later).
