Layout-native track: Home-row foundations
Combine the key groups from this stage into longer strings so your hands stop treating each pair as an isolated movement.
On Colemak-DH, this lesson moves across the top letter row and home row, which makes it a coordination drill as much as a pure key-memory drill.
This lesson touches top letter row and home row on Colemak-DH, so it is useful for building both key familiarity and cleaner transitions.
The live lesson uses the same practice text shown below, so you can preview the sequence before you type.
This is what makes the page genuinely layout-specific: the same lesson text maps to different physical zones depending on the keyboard layout.
