Thread: Dvorak keyboard

  1. #1

    Default Dvorak keyboard

    Anyone else use this? I switched a couple days ago and it's muuuch nicer. The layout just feels so much more natural...my fingers just sit on the home row most of the time. Also, since I'm majoring in CS it seems like a good idea seeing that the layout is much more ergonomic.




    You can easily switch to it in your control panel.

    I wonder what this thing has to do with Dvorák at all...

    I've used several keyb layouts on typewriters and 'puters. Q with TR chrs embedded ("Turkish Q") is my fave for some reasons. The real Turkish layout is "F" and it exists as well. My grandaunt was a good typist and we're keeping her "Erica" in German "A" layout.

    Currently, I have Turkish Q, Azeri Latin, Croatian, Armenian, Farsi, Arabic, Kurdish Sorani, Greek, Hebrew, Russian, Bulgarian and Syriac installed.

    I can "fluently" type in Latin (Turkish Q, Azeri Latin, Croatian), Farsi/Arabic and Greek. (Scripts, not languages unfortunately...)

    i think that Fitaly has been proven to be the most eficient layout for a keyboard, for english typing at least.....

    but i´m so so used to qwerty that it has become second nature.....so.....i don´t think i´ll be changing anytime soon.

    It's a different Dvorak:

    Be intent on loyalty
    While others aspire to perform meritorious services
    Concentrate on purity of intent
    While those around you are beset by egoism

    I got so used to QWERTY being that it's all I've ever used that I have no need to switch.
