nice
My latest monkeytype:
Alien 👽 .
👀 how
Haha, not sure. Parents made me join touch typing classes when I was 7 or 8 and since then there’s rarely been a day where I haven’t spent multiple hours behind a keyboard/pc. Azerty layout FWIW
I get around 60 on monkeytype.com. More than enough.
I’m using Klavaro
66.8
Monkeytype’s telling me I’m at 77wpm with 97% accuracy. I don’t really believe that. I might be at 45wpm.
Current personal best is 134 wpm on typeracer.com, average is just above 100.
This is right where I’m at
47 wpm
About 50 after 6 months or so on a new keyboard layout.
an ortholinear layout?
edit: oh wait, “keyboard layout” apparently means the software layout, not the physical layout 🤦♀️
Ya just keyboard. Did dvorak for about 3 years, got up to 50 with that, now I’m on halmak.
halmak
heh, never heard about this
do you feel that it’s actually that much more efficient (like their gh page says) than, say dvorak, or it is hard/too early to tell?
it promises much better energy efficiency than dvorak and much better same hand usage statistics, which sounds very cool, but as very often with custom, especially new, layouts, it has very good theoretical performance, but in real life usage it turns out that there’s some previously unforeseen flaw deal breaker
the author says they learned the layout themselves, but doesn’t say whether he knew any other layout other than qwerty…

Hard to say… I’m fairly sold on it because it uses both real world hand distance measurements, and a genetic algorithm to not only find the best keyboard layout possible, but to score existing ones. Its def more comfortable than dvorak or qwerty, but I also haven’t tried colemak-dh or some of the other ones ppl like a lot.
The main thing I’ve learned is that while these alternate layouts don’t make you type faster, they do make things more comfortable.
considering I don’t know proper touch typing and have my weird typing, hitting 64wpm is really nice for me
66 just tested
