I have not been able to get Colemak to work on the Ben, but I plan to use it. Even with thumb typing in qwerty and by my crude kitchen-timer tests, I was getting about 20-23 wpm with just thumbs. I also want to get Colemak on the Ben just for the hack value. In that light, Dvorak would be good too, and maybe we could invent a layout at Qi that is optimized for thumb typing. Using Gtypist, I could easily see which layout gave me best results over time. I have switched to Colemak since about a year ago on all my other computers.

This may not be a program, but I need a way to change the keymap to
(for now) Colemak layout. I was not succesful doing this in
LibreWRT.

Out of curiosity, do you actually use the Colemak layout when typing on
your Ben NanoNote?

I use Colemak myself on my laptop, but I can’t imagine using it on such a small keyboard; thumb typing seems much more appropriate. How do you
cope with that?
