With ten finger typing, having the most-used keys on the home row is a significant advantage for speed and ergonomics. With swiping, having a sequence of characters close to each other makes it hard for the algorithm to predict the intended word. With tapping, it’s a disadvantage to have adjacent characters in a sequence on a small touchscreen because it increases the chance of fat-fingering them.
True, but I think it would help to have both in the same layout.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Maybe. I use Dvorak for real keyboards and QWERTY on my phone. I tried Dvorak on my phone and didn’t see any benefit.
Hmm, maybe it doesn’t matter and is more like speaking different languages. Ten finger typing and swiping are different skills anyway.
