Welcome! If you want some extras, look into my sig posts. ;) But you probably have enough as it is.

Amphetype is portable, layout agnostic and can be set up for texts or word practice. I use it to type literature. But it isn't a typing tutor per se.

Thank you.  This is quite enough, yes, but if I ever look at new keyboards I'll keep angle mod compatibility in mind.

Already heard about Amphetype, I'm looking forward to using it once I can type my stories fast enough to read moderately.

Thank you.  About KTouch, it looks and feels great for learning for me.  No complaints.  Haven't heard of GTypist, might also try that out for some variety.

Though, I'm beginning to have a bit of concern over something:  Is my muscle memory retaining individual letters, bigrams and trigrams or... whole words, even?  Though between days I jump around 20 CPM for KTouch lessons, I don't improve as much as I expect on learncolemak.com (Which contains different, more complex words) or sense-lang.com (Which generates random strings of letters).  I'm beginning to feel as though I'm underrating keybr.com for having a whole lot of nonsensical words that feel too repetitive for me to handle when really it would be faster in the long run.

Good luck on your Colemak learning journey.

Be sure to stick to it at least 20 days, and know well in advance that one day you will feel confused and cannot type well in both layouts.

When that critical moment come, be brave to go Colemak all the way.

I think there is merit in doing random character exercises.  But not to excess.  It improves your adaptability.  You also get to practice less used keys.

Although tough,  after doing a few of these random exercises, typing 'normal' words, feels that much easier.

I've a tri-glyph list (or perhaps it's a list of six-grams, made up words of two common tri-grams glued together).  I've forgotten where I acquired it.  It's mainly gibberish, but also a good exercise.

The texts I've practiced the most are common word lists.

G and J are not supposed to be easy. They're put there because they're not needed enough to warrant better placements.

I use the Angle(Wide) mod, so for me the B is very easy. The price to pay for that is that the G is probably a little bit harder. Of course, my wrists love me for it.

I don't think it's a good idea to do a lesson just on G and J.  Those are in unergonomic positions because they are rarer.

From previous post, I'm guessing shortcuts matter to you.  Nevermind.

Even without an international keyboard, the wide (not angle) mod is still possible; it would displace the quotation marks to the top row.  Something like this:

Sadly, vanilla amphetype is not very good at converting such characters. My fork adds some basic conversion (needs to be manually specified; search Text.py for "input_replacements") and discards all other non-ASCII text.

Thank you, I'll be sure to give it a shot.

You're right, that was wrong of me to say.  The way you worded that post made me think you were being coy and arrogant about the way you type compared to me, so I became aggressive in turn.  I apologize, for what it's worth.

I made myself a personal reference image because the recommended one from the website is ugly in my opinion.

I used the lighting plugin in Gimp to make the bevels; the filters in Inkscape all look too fancy for my tastes, and I'm not willing to drop into the filter editor just yet.  The drop shadows were easy enough, though.  I based the shape on the keyboard I use, on the bottom-right corner the arrow keys are tucked in so I took advantage of the space ;)

And now for something completely different:  Why hasn't this been done before?

For discussion, I'm going to refer to this as the Raise Mod.

Disadvantages:  The upper row is more staggered than the lower row; these more common keys are a bit harder to hit than the less common keys below.  I have not come up with an idea on how to use this for ISO-105 keyboards.
Advantages:  Shift and AltGr are special because they can be pressed with the corner of one's palm.  The pinkies and right thumb no longer have to move to hit these keys.  This incorporates concepts from both the Angle and Wide mods into an ISO-103(?) keyboard without requiring ‘Z’ or the apostrophe to move.

The reason I'm posting this in my experiences thread is because this is personal.  If this has already been brought up and/or is a terrible idea for a very obvious reason, then it'll be here rather than on its own topic.  If anyone wants to adapt this or start a more serious thread for discussion on it, I'll be fine if they put it in their own thread without credit to me.

This idea is very uncomfortable for me, personally.  To hit ‘P’, for instance, would press against the middle finger; more so than it does already.  Moving the upper row inward feels helpful for me, but may be less so with an ergonomic board or for those too used to touch typing with the stagger moving the upper row to the left.

The backspace remains for those who currently use caps as a QWERTY wrapper, and as a bonus could be closer.  Also, I don't know what else would go there, the way I have it set up at the moment.

‘QAZXCVB’ remaining was one reason I chose Colemak, to preserve shortcuts, so moving Ctrl up in line with the rest of the keys is what works for me.  I can hit Ctrl-F fine, but I assume you must be using a mod that raises Ctrl.

Huh, I didn't think of that.  That's a big hit.

Maybe this argument should be grouped with the one about the left hand's rightward curl.  I'm thinking a fix to this in particular would be to switch the upper and lower letter keys row, effectively making it into an upside-down mod.  I don't see what you mean about the spacebar, but I'll chalk it up to short fingers.

These arguments lead me to believe that even if someone developed this for PKL and XKB, for instance, it would be very obscure because I designed it with my personal situation in mind: longer fingers and a larger, desktop keyboard.  There could be variants based on the arguments you posed, Lalop, but it would still be debatable.  I suppose it was a nice idea, at least, and I'll learn from it however it turns out.

...EDIT.  I should also post regarding the mod of Amphetype you made.  I'll mention real quick that the dark theme seemed to come out of nowhere; if Vanilla used system colors, which I can't quite be sure of, what exactly were you trying to accomplish?  The next note is that the character replacement you mentioned is an improvement, and yet it just deletes unidentified characters (including the strange space I had been complaining about).  This means that there will only be one space after sentences and some words are just... mashedtogether.

To practice with, I tried a real story, but it ended up being too slow, and since Amphetype doesn't show page breaks I didn't know where scenes were changing.  This lead to lack of comprehension.  So I then chose a big heap of junk that would be easy fodder for me to mindlessly type.  The text in question is a jumbled heap of narrative cut out from a story I've read before.  It's the strangest thing, though: while I'm typing this, I get floods of anxiety and my whole body becomes really sore.  I would hope that I've grasped Colemak enough that it in itself wouldn't be a problem: I've surpassed my current QWERTY speed and am almost 4/5 of the way to the former speed (38 now, as to ~50 before).  I just don't know what's going wrong 6_9

Quick update: I haven't done much reading lately, so I haven't found an excuse to really get into Amphetype.  I've been distracted by design stuff and I've been working a little bit with MessageEase, which I found in the topic here discussing it.

I'm posting now because I just had a really weird experience.  I'm at a friend's house and they gave me an old computer to use, and I had my flash drive with me.  I open up PKL after I notice the strange typing I did in the web browser but it doesn't work!  AVG pops up and says it is securing a virus, then the tray icon goes away and pkl.exe is no longer on my flash drive.  I had never really thought that it could be considered a virus.  So now after my friend logged me into administrator and I uninstall AVG, I'm typing this with QWERTY.  Yes I will redownload PKL in a moment, but typing like this feels like a new experience.  Earlier, it felt more frustrating, in that I would constantly be scanning the right side of the keyboard looking for 'E' until my brain kicked in and reminded me where it was.  Now it just feels sluggish, I'm no longer using my ring finger like I used to as much at all and I'm making quite a few typos (most notably some missing 'E's).  This is just tiring, now I'm going to go download it, the uninstall is done.
