Cartman, you know you want the ISO-Angle. It'd be good for you. ;)

Unless you can afford an actual Ergodox or something.

I've been saving up for one for the past couple months, I'm in the current mass drop round for that, which ends in a day. But it won't be until late November until I'd get it in to build. I wonder if it would be possible to make a full Colemak layout with the Ergodox using different layers on it.

It's paradoxical that when you are consciously typing more slowly to get higher accuracy, you will end up typing faster.

Doesn't time fly!  It's over two years since I embarked on the Great Colemak Adventure.  I have been periodically revisiting 10fastfingers just to see if I'm still speeding up or not. Today I reached a new milestone - the 80 barrier!

Was focussing on accuracy too, I concur with others who say focus on accuracy and speed will come on its own.

Mind you, as I have gradually got faster, I have noticed an increase in how annoying I find LK bigram though!

Inspiring story, Bph!

Is LK/KL bad? I don't think so, I just slide in for it. Since there's a bump on the K (QWERTY J before Wide mod), it's really very simple I think.
