I actually use Coleman for work. It feels so much nicer to type on vs qwerty. It reduces same finger movement (like e & d on qwerty) and enables common synergies, like ie/ei, ne/en, sr/rs, ar, st/ts, etc. It was also easy to switch to vs other layouts like Dvorak because it keeps important hotkeys where they should be, like ctrl+a/q/z/x/c/v so you don’t accidentally close a program while trying to select all.
I still use QWERTY often for my home PC because I play games and type at the same time and don’t want to change every hot key for every game.
And I have you tagged with the city we both live in! I think I know the school. I had an interest, but I’m already 9 years into my software engineering career and the pay is too much to give up.
If you’re not in the Seattle Indies discord, send me a DM! Never too early to make connections.
