Keyflic/Colemak Typing Test – Track Your Colemak Layout Progress
Colemak Typing Test – Track Your Colemak Layout Progress
Measure your WPM and accuracy on Colemak or Colemak-DH. Learn how Colemak's home-row rolls (`A R S T` and `N E I O`) reduce finger travel while preserving familiar `Ctrl+Z/X/C/V` shortcuts.
Why Ergonomic Typists Choose Colemak
Designed by Shai Coleman in 2006, Colemak optimizes modern ergonomic typing by placing the 10 most frequent English letters on the home row (A R S T D H N E I O) while minimizing same-finger bigrams (two consecutive letters typed by the same finger). Unlike Dvorak, which focuses on left-right alternation, Colemak encourages smooth inward finger rolls across adjacent fingers of the same hand.
Tips for Transitioning from QWERTY to Colemak
Use the Caps-Lock Backspace: Remapping Caps Lock to Backspace is one of Colemak's biggest ergonomic wins—your right hand never has to leave the home row to fix a typo.
Practice Rolls (st, ar, ne, io, en): Notice how these high-frequency pairs roll smoothly across neighboring home-row fingers.
Track Weekly Milestones: Run a 1-minute test on this page every few days to watch your Colemak personal best climb.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Keyflic detect whether I am using Colemak or QWERTY?
No. The test evaluates the characters output by your operating system, so make sure Colemak (or Colemak-DH) is active in your OS settings or keyboard firmware.
How is Colemak easier to learn than Dvorak?
Colemak changes only 17 keys compared to QWERTY and leaves Z, X, C, V, A, Q, W, and M in their original positions, preserving standard editing shortcuts.
What is the bonus of replacing Caps Lock with Backspace in Colemak?
Standard Colemak remaps the Caps Lock key to Backspace, turning error correction into an effortless left-pinky home-row press.
