Learning Colemak

After see­ing that Ian’s learn­ing Cole­mak, I decid­ed to go for it too. Cole­mak is eas­i­er to switch to than Dvo­rak, and pos­si­bly even more effi­cient to boot.

How­ev­er, I could­n’t find a key­board lay­out that I want­ed to print and look at every day. I found a Mac Key­board Vec­tor with a CC license and made my own tweaks. I con­densed the key­board, and also greyed-out the keys that are unchanged from Qwer­ty. Down­load below:

Cole­mak Lay­out Printout

Con­sid­er it licensed under the same CC license as above.

    Great PDF — very use­ful. One sug­ges­tion: you might want to grey out the entire top row (numbers/symbols), since they don’t change. Thanks for putting this together!
