    Dvorak Simplified Keyboard intensifies

    Different keyboard layouts exist for various reasons. It’s not always a great idea to try to unify things like that.

      On one hand I agree. On the other hand being a dvorak user has been a massive pain in my ass (but a significantly smaller pain in my wrists)

        Eh, as a Dvorak vim user, I haven’t had many issues. I just hotkey swap between Dvorak and QWERTY as needed and things largely work out.

        Things could be a lot better, like if games and whatnot would read use key codes instead of letters for key bindings. WASD should silently map to ,AOE (that was painful to type on my phone’s QWERTY keyboard), and that only works in 1/4 or so of games I play.

            Ah, the unenlightened plebs. :)

            Yup, my typo rate goes way up when I use anyone else’s computer. After a few minutes, it settles down and I can be almost productive, but those first few minutes suck.
