In case anyone is looking for more excitement in their life, I'm testing this Android keyboard after learning it's developed by the lemmy founder: https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key
That looks amazing. Is it taking much to pick it up? I use dvorak on everything except my phone, which is still on qwerty. I wonder if my brain could cope with a third kb layout...
I've never used a different keyboard layout. I've been using it only today, have tested it on the typing test thing they link to, https://monkeytype.com, and I managed 10 words per minute at the start. Then I tried again after using it for a while (I only started a few hours ago, so it's only a few hours of use) and I was up to 18 words per minute. Pretty slow. I tried with my normal android keyboard (only typing, not using word suggestions) and managed 47wpm, and that was only one try.
I'm gonna try to keep using it and see if I manage to get better at it.
