I tried Colemak for a about a month and it made my hand hurt. I switched to Dvorak and the pain disappeared. It feels great to to type with. When I used colemak, I found the key to key movements uncomfortable. I thought I just had to get used to it or maybe i wasn’t holding my hands right but nothing worked until I switched over to Dvorak.

As for cut/copy/paste shortcut keys, I just changed them to better keys in my Mac’s system preferences. I don’t know how this would be done on Windows, but there’s probably some easy way to change shortcuts.

Really insightful replies.
I’ve just started a data entry job. I’m in my early 20’s, and have spent most of my life with QWERTY.
I stumbled upon Dvorak and Colemak a couple days ago, from these reviews I think I’ll turn my attention to Colemak over Dvorak.
Thanks

I just switched to Colemak on my PC work computer but I can’t find out how to make it work on my home Mac. HELP!

I have put the “Colemak.keylayout” file into my Library/Keyboard Layouts, but it’s still not working! GRRRRR

Dvorak user here. I just wanted to mention that there are alternative keyboard shorcuts for cut, copy, and paste.

Cut: Shift-Delete
Copy: Control-Insert
Paste: Shift-Insert

I use these more instead of Ctrl-X/C/V.
