Hi, folks.
I’m thinking of switching to the Colemak layout over QWERTY. I measured my current typing speed at hi-games.net/typing-test, and I got upwards of 80 WPM on QWERTY (88 WPM in the 1-minute test). Does anyone else care to take the test? Does anyone else use Dvorak or Colemak?

I've been using Dvorak for quite some time now, and it may have helped me. Best thing is that others cannot use my computer even when left open and unguarded. But it's impossible to find a dvorak layout that supports esperanto characters. Svorak supports quite some international characters, though.

I have a question: is there a way to edit the Colemak keyboard (preferably including the CAPS to Backspace shift) for Windows? I want to move , and . to ' and ", and I want to move ‘ and ’ to , and . and “ and ” to < and > . I also would like to add a dash.

I used that one too, it's great.

I've used that before, but on Windows 7 I can't get the program installed. It keeps asking that I install the .NET framework, which I think is installed already (and I've tried re-installing, to no avail).

Another question (I forget): Is it possible to re-map Caps Lock with that program?

Maybe windows 7 has something like that on it? like in a developers folder?
I take it you're using the beta?

AltGr+x gives you ĉ? That has nothing to do with colemak, but rather, your xmodmap/Xorg settings.

I don't think so. (I'm using the RC.) I'll just see if I can use another computer.
