Qwerty and Colemak. I sometimes use Qwerty when I am chatting while gaming or when on someone else's computer - though about 2/3 as fast. I find that I don't have to actively think about what layout I am typing in, it just flows. I imagine bilinguists have a similar experience. I chose Colemak primarily because it doesn't mess with common shortcuts (Bottom-left keys "qwarzxcvbm" remain the the same positions). |

I still can't use Colemak on iOS devices, so regular QWERTY encounters still happen, but I didn't lose much of my QWERTY speed after I switched, something I feared might happen.
Before Colemak I tried Dvorak for about a month, but uncomfortable locations of common shortcuts seemed bit unfriendly - great for typing, not as great for computer use.
