I feel like improvements over Colemak are going to be pretty incremental at this point. In this case, there's a pretty big trade-off on leaving home row for the sake of not reaching for the H.

What I'd like to see is some proper innovation like good programmer-usable chorded layouts that work with existing inexpensive hardware (I don't mind buying a good non-ghosting keyboard, but I don't want to pony up a few grand for a Velotype).



have you seen plover? (http://plover.stenoknight.com/)


Yeah. It's a good start, but steno feels pretty kludgy to me, and a ton of work needs to be done to make it usable for programming.


Never heard of special stenographic keyboards or typing techniques before.
