I've had a few ups and downs with the transition, as many of you will no doubt be aware, but I'm now almost totally qwerty-free. I still use qwerty when I have to remote desktop into servers at work but that's about it. All in all I'm more than satisfied.
Oh, and btw I've taken down that post on my blog about alternative keyboard layouts being a waste of time :)
I also do lots of remote desktop at work, but I have simple solution - use PKL on your workstation and run rdp not in full screen (then pkl translates everything fine like for normal window app). to use this but do not scroll each time in rdp window try to set remote view just about your screen size, take into account window border size, and set "windows key combination" not to "in full screen only" in defalut rdp settings to use Alt+tab etc on remote if you prefer.
for example I have 1600x1200 workstation screen so I use command: mstsc /w:1550 /h:1100 /v:some_remote_svr_name_or_IP
Now connect this way with rdp and without touching the remote system it would be colemak all the time like your workstation :)
Anyway, I got used to rdp not in fullscreen and it is very comfortable. Lots ot the time I remote to 2-3 rdp to do some actual work on one and see some logs etc on onthers. For just screen monitoring small window like 600x400 is good enough and I place it side by side with other windows.
