Things Daniel is nerdy about and needs to share Zola 2024-01-23T00:00:00+00:00 https://d-rens.xyz/tags/typing/atom.xml 2024-01-23T00:00:00+00:00 2024-01-23T00:00:00+00:00 Daniel https://d-rens.xyz/blog/layout/

<h1 id="step-one-realisation">Step One – Realisation</h1> <p>Having typed all my life on qwerty or qwertz I got used to it. I got into practising typing to gain speed and accuracy, towards the end I averaged around 90 words per minute (wpm) and had a accuracy of &gt;95%.</p> <p>But at some point I got fed up with it, why did I still use the normal layout? That has no reason for existing any more and that after I have switched to a tiling-window-manager, vim and countless other things, just to get the last seconds off the clock and have the computer do whatever I want it to do as fast as possible.</p>

Now it is done and I can now type much more ergonimic and better than I could before, in the following I will talk about the process and maybe you can get something out of it :).</p>
