           <p>In December 2023, I started doing much of my work away from a desk on my laptop, a Lenovo T440p. Even though the T440p has a relatively nice keyboard compared to many modern laptops, I still experienced aching and strain (especially in my right index finger) after prolonged programming sessions. As a programmer in my early 20s, I knew my keyboard usage wasn&#39;t like to slow down over the next 50+ years, so I needed to make a change.</p>

           <p>Dvorak, while its relative popularity was a big benefit, turned me off almost immediately due to the drastically different placement of punctuation keys, the semicolon was especially jarring. Workman had a much more appealing key layout but still wasn&#39;t quite what I was looking for. Ultimately, I settled on Colemak.</p>
           <p>Colemak seemed quite appealing from the perspective of a QWERTY user:</p>

My favorite is <code>C-a</code> and <code>C-e</code>, which move to the start and end of a line, respectively. These are my most common movements when programming, and it’s amazing to have them directly under my fingers instead of jumping to <code>0</code> and <code>$</code>, then pressing another key to re-enter insert mode before typing again. With Emacs bindings, my fingers rest on four vowels and remain within a minimal movement range of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequency">nine most common letters</a> in English. A tiny shift of my left hand returns me to a natural touch-typing position.</p>

           <p>While I thought I was touch typing on QWERTY, learning Colemak made me realise I had developed bad habits. My school’s typing program emphasised speed over proper finger positioning, leading me to rely on just 2-3 fingers per hand, moving them chaotically. This likely contributed to my discomfort.</p>
           <p>Since switching to Colemak, I’ve experienced significantly fewer strain issues. Whether that&#39;s due to the layout itself or finally learning proper touch typing is uncertain, but the improvement is undeniable.</p>
           <p>One major benefit of Colemak is how typing <em>feels</em>. In QWERTY, I typed words letter by letter due to the inefficient layout. With Colemak, I type in <em>arpeggios</em>, this is especially noticeable on <a href="https://monkeytype.com/">Monkeytype</a> which I used to test my speed while I was learning.</p>
           <p>Instead of typing &quot;started&quot; as <code>S-T-A-R-T-E-D</code>, in Colemak, it becomes <code>ST-ART-E-D</code>, utilizing comfortable <a href="https://colemak.com/Hand_alternation">rolls</a>, sequences of adjacent keys on the home row pressed in a rolling motion. This improves both speed and comfort, making typing much more enjoyable. In fact, I now enjoy it so much that it inspired me to write this review!</p>
           <p>Despite its advantages, like all things, Colemak has its drawbacks. Firstly, when using someone else’s keyboard, my speed and accuracy drop significantly. Luckily I&#39;m not in that situation very often but it is definitely noticeable to others when I am. Secondly, every keyboard I own has QWERTY-printed keycaps. Although I don’t look at the keys while typing, it’s certainly a minor visual annoyance. I do plan to buy blank keycaps for my <a href="https://fekertech.com/products/feker-alice">Feker Alice 80</a>, but they aren’t cheap, so I’m holding off for now.</p>
           <p>So, after a year, what do I think of Colemak? I definitely made the right choice—not just in leaving QWERTY, but in choosing Colemak specifically. I was able to regain my typing speed quickly, and with default Emacs bindings, I can now perform text-buffer surgery even faster than before. The fact that I’ve had no typing-related hand strain since switching speaks for itself, though whether that’s due to the layout or proper touch typing is unclear. However, the rolling motions are undeniably a Colemak-exclusive advantage, and I’m very grateful for them.</p>
-          <p>Thanks for reading my review! This wasn’t meant to tell you whether you should switch to Colemak—that’s a personal decision, and like most things, the best way to find out is to try it yourself. Apologies if I rambled a bit (or a lot); this is my first article on the new iteration of my website, so hopefully, my writing will improve as I go.
