    Anyone know where Colemak gains the 14% improvement in usage of the homerow
    over Dvorak?  I mean, how this figure is arrived at, as I see only a 4.1% gain.

    Thanks

    It possibly includes the caps lock as a backspace.

    If you type at a typical 95-98% accuracy (yes, I know that good typists have >99%) that nowhere near bridges the gap between 4% and 14% I think. I don't know about either of the figures to be honest.
