    I’ve wanted to learn Colemak, but I would also need a swipe keyboard with predictions for Android.

      Heliboard offers the option. The ideal layout for a small onscreen keyboard may be rather different from one for typing with all your fingers though.

        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.

        Same, it’s really easy to keep them separate mentally.

        I think QWERTY may even be better for typing on a phone, because common letters are more spread out, leading to fewer errors.
