    I tried Colemak, but it was too confusing switching back and forth for work. I could probably manage it now, but QWERTY really is fine for my purposes. What I would like to learn–but only if I could use it everywhere–is VIM.

    For my phone, I use Thumbkey–9 letter buttons that each have 1 value if you push on it and 8 others if you want to slide, so that’s 81 keys quickly available with minimal futzing about finger placement and no depending on a computer to guess what you mean.

      If an editor has plugins then there is more than likely a vim extension for it. I know VS Code has one, and it has worked consistently for me. I think someone also made a Firefox extension for vim like navigation if you want to really go hard.

        Thanks, but I think unless I can use it everywhere, it will be more annoying having these shortcuts burned into my brain that I can’t use… But maybe I’ll put it onto my list of “new ways to write text” after I learn Gregg shorthand.
