Colemak et al, one week later.

Revealed by sykora within linux on August 10th, 2008

It’s been one week since I started using colemak as my primary keyboard layout. Progress has been fairly good, and although I’m not typing anywhere near as fast as I used to, it does feel more comfortable.

The worst part about all of this is the changing of the keybindings. Only now do I realize how qwerty-centric vim is :(.
I’m working on some new bindings for vim, and I’ll put them up when I’m done. Yes, I know that at least one set exists already, but I’m going to write them up myself.

This week I also started adding some eye-candy to ratpoison. This comes in the form of dmenu and dzen2, and would be instant hits for me if they didn’t break gvim’s line-handling.

I also installed archlinux, but didn’t get further than network configuration. Damn ntlm.
