Can you please share your keymap customizations?

Current ergodox keymap is here: https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/yov40/la...

Most of my typing is in emacs, so having the ctrl/alt modifiers on the thumb clusters was important for me; it lets me navigate easily without moving my fingers much.

Redox layout (which is closer to stock) is here - this is for QMK Configurator: https://github.com/jfrederickson/dotfiles/blob/master/keyboa...

Less customizations there, though I swapped ctrl/alt to match my ergodox layout.

Mapping CAPSLOCK to LCTRL is a common one to make CTRL+C/CTRL+V much easier with your pinky and not require bending your wrist unnaturally.

I think that the main advantage of using Colemak over QWERTY is to reduce pain and effort.

Could Colemak increase pain and effort in non-english languages?

You could run what you type through an analyzer.

I personally pretty much ditched QWERTY for now (I use it only on my phone).

But I think it's possible to maintain 2 layouts in your muscle memory

Here’s Jashe Poon getting 158 wpm on a test where his keyboard layout suddenly switches twice so that he ends up typing 20 seconds each of Qwerty, Colemak, and Dvorak: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GK8UQGO-qFA

I didn't set up my phone with Colemak (maybe in the future)

:) you mean the original feature has become obsolete?

not obsolete but now they have a clearer picture of what they actually wanted.

if so, it doesn't mean you need to rewrite anything most of the times I guess, but just replace a piece
