    The hand alternating is actually supposed to be for ergonomics and typing rhythm. It’s one of the perks imo. But yeah that’s totally fair. And colemak has its advantages, I hear it’s easier to pick up, and someone like me would probably have benefited from it being less different from QWERTY as I lost my QWERTY abilities. But I too am not spending another 3 months learning a new layout

      It’s kinda funny, I use a qwerty layout on my phone without problem, but I have to concentrate really hard to type on a qwerty keyboard layout to avoid dropping back into Dvorak.

        Yeah! It’s annoying the hell out of me as I’m troubleshooting what’s going wrong with my home assistant setup. Let me use my superior layout.

        But yeah I think it really comes down to muscle memory. I know what action produces what letter and don’t even have to think to spell it all out. I just think words and can tap them out on my phone or keyboard without looking at the keys.
