The
Colemak
layout
was
designed
with
the
QWERTY
layout
as
a
base,
changing
the
positions
of
17
keys
while
retaining
the
QWERTY
positions
of
most
non-alphabetic
characters
and
many
popular
keyboard
shortcuts,
supposedly
making
it
easier
to
learn
than
Dvorak
layout
for
people
who
already
type
in
QWERTY
without
losing
efficiency.
It
shares
several
design
goals
with
the
Dvorak
layout,
such
as
minimizing
finger
path
distance
and
making
heavy
use
of
the
home
row.
74%
of
typing
is
done
on
the
home
row
compared
to
70%
for
Dvorak
and
32%
for
QWERTY.
The
default
Colemak
layout
lacks
a
Caps
Lock
key;
an
additional
Backspace
key
occupies
the
position
typically
occupied
by
Caps
Lock
on
modern
keyboards.
The replay is still saving.
