    The DH mod addresses the d and h issues that Colemak has. Long story short, if you type primarily in English the DH mod means you will need to stretch your fingers to hit those keys way less often. More information is here.

    As for other layouts, the advice that has treated me well is to focus on post covid layouts. Due to a sudden availability of free time a lot of research was done during COVID on keyboard layouts. Resultantly, post Covid layouts tend to be substantially better than pre COVID. I am a fan of Engram, Graphire, and The Hands Down Family personally.

    This all being said these are harder to learn because they completely separate themselves from qwerty/qwertz.
