    Hi!

    I'm looking at the description of the algorithm for calculating distance at https://colemak.com/wiki/index.php?title=Compare and I can't figure out why the distance for word 'look' is 0.037m (QWERTY). Could someone please explain this?

    Regards

    The only movements are l->o and o->l.  It's 0.018m vertical distance either way.  I presume the extra 0.001m is due to the slight horizontal distance.
