Layout-native track: Home-row foundations
Practice the letter pairs that appear most often so your hands stop hesitating on common transitions.
On Colemak-DHk, this lesson moves across the home row and bottom row, which makes it a coordination drill as much as a pure key-memory drill.
This lesson touches home row and bottom row on Colemak-DHk, 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.
