Support for Alternative Layouts
This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others.

Some people already have a good typing habit, whereas others don’t. I suggest you use a normal keyboard at first.

Tip 3: Use Shortcuts We spend plenty of time to practice, and sometimes we forget the easiest and most effective way: remember some shortcuts. It wouldn’t take you much time to learn some basic keyboard shortcuts, whereas they really help.
Tip 4: Ergonomics People pay increasing attention to ergonomics, including those who want to improve their typing skills and those who spend plenty of time in typing, working or gaming. Ergonomics has covered the keyboards, the chairs, and the desks. All these elements could affect your typing speed and typing fatigue. However, investment in those ergonomics equipment is not necessary. You can improve typing speed and reduce typing fatigue according to the following instructions.
