    Heyo!

    I wanted real word lessons and in a program that is at least half-decent.  I found https://colemak.com/Typing_lessons but I wanted a program.  So I built that lesson set into Ktouch.  The file is just an xml file as below.

    Nice work! I thought it had already been done, but I may have dreamt it... :-)

    I use Amphetype for both my lesson and long-distance typing needs, myself.

    Sad to say, the main Colemak pages are not actively maintained by any reasonable standard. The forums are alive and happy, but not much is happening on the front page. Shai is around too, but he's more of a "First Creator" type. His brilliant work stands on its own without his interference, so no worry.
