I have previously read an article detailing the disadvantages of qwerty and how several other keyboards were more intuitive.
I never switched because it seemed silly to learn a new keyboard and then have to relearn every time I borrowed a computer and laptops come with their own keyboard.
I touchtype like previous posts have stated. Not being a techie I never researched it and wasn’t aware of any software. It didn’t seem practical to go to the extra length when work and other computer’s would be qwerty.
However I have always secretly loathed qwerty and I don’t think it would be that difficult to switch. We go from keyboard to keyboard every day. Cellphone the old style tap texting to texting phone, to swype or word prediction, keyboards, erogonomic keyboards etc.
We adapt every day. I just glanced at the home row and already have it memorized. I think it would be slow for the first week then down hill from there. Switching back to qwerty would be a bit confusing.
When I get back on my computer I will add the software. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
