At current state, this is just a test note for checking hugo capability and using Obsidian-like backlings.

  • I am learning Colemak since the beginning of [[2026]]
  • The main motivation was [[The Primeagen]] talking about [[Touch Typing]] to be essential and [[Tim Ferris]] in his book [[Tools of Titans]] talking with Matt of Automattic that [[Colemak]] is the best layout. Thus, if I am learning touch typing then correctly and once and for all. Also I disliked my error rate with hunt and peck typing which was really annoying during focused coding lessons
  • I also bought my [[Keychron Q11]] split mechanical keyboard end of march and it arrived mid April
  • The keyboard changed everything: beginning was hard but the split layout is very posture friendly and ergonomic for my [[Keyboard first approach]] incl. starting using/learning [[vim]] at the same time
  • but the real magic is QMK/VIA: I can program my keyboard! I can do whatever I want and costumize it to my liking. I can make it mine!
  • I use [[Vim Motions]] everywhere I can and code to 100% in [[Python]] thus I wanted to optimize my keyboard to get the best experience and improve ergonomics
  • The goal is to never leave the keyboard
  • my current keyboard layout has 3 layers for my colemak typing and a forth default qwerty for [[Gaming]]. it is the result of some iterations over weeks or months
    • L0: default typing layer; access L1 via right fn and L3 via long pressing right space ![[Pasted image 20260911233043.png]]
    • L1: programming layer; all frequently used symbols symmetrical at home row (inspired by [[The Primeagen]]) as well as vim hjkl for non vim apps ![[Pasted image 20260911233114.png]]
    • L2: QWERTY
    • L3: German Umlaute on corresponding chars ![[Pasted image 20260911233357.png]]
