Is there any data supporting the idea that dvorak/colemak/some other new keyboard layout are actually better than qwerty. Like, actual data collected by doing research on actual people that type stuff, how their layout of choice affects their health and typing speed. I do know that you get figures like “on average your fingers travel twice the amount if you type on qwerty as compared to some other layout”, but actual data from actual typists?
