I'm considering learning a new keyboard layout such as Dvorak or Colemak.

Does anyone have any opinions from the perspective of a programmer using either of these? I do a lot of coding, and wondered if there's a preference in that case

Hi! I would recomend #colemak, because the transition from Qwerty is easier. I learnt it 1 year ago, and it didn't took me that long, but don't expect to be really productive during the first 2 weeks. I would recomend you to practice in monkeytype.com

Personally I use an #ortholinear #keyboard I built myself, but if you want to start with Colemak layout, you can simply switch the keyboard layout in the language settings of your laptop (it's available for Mac, Windows and Linux) and maybe put some stickers on the keys of the keyboard.
