minus-squarezonnewin@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·15 hours agoI’ve wanted to learn Colemak, but I would also need a swipe keyboard with predictions for Android.
minus-squareTonyTonyChopper@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 hours agoI type on Colemak on my PC and Qwerty on mobile
minus-squaremoonlight@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4·10 hours agoSame, it’s really easy to keep them separate mentally. I think QWERTY may even be better for typing on a phone, because common letters are more spread out, leading to fewer errors.
minus-squareGeneralVincent@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 hours agoFUTO also has this feature thankfully cuz I guess switched to Colemak two weeks ago myself
minus-squareZak@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·12 hours agoHeliboard offers the option. The ideal layout for a small onscreen keyboard may be rather different from one for typing with all your fingers though.
minus-squarezonnewin@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 hours agoTrue, but I think it would help to have both in the same layout. Thanks for the recommendation!
minus-squareZak@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 hours agoMaybe. I use Dvorak for real keyboards and QWERTY on my phone. I tried Dvorak on my phone and didn’t see any benefit.
minus-squarezonnewin@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·41 minutes agoHmm, maybe it doesn’t matter and is more like speaking different languages. Ten finger typing and swiping are different skills anyway.
