Thoughts on Dvorak…
I’m only a day and some in, and I’ll try to stick with it for two weeks, but here are my thoughts (after perusing other alternate keyboard layouts…):
- I like the period on the left ring finger. It’s much more comfortable.
- I’m not sure I agree with the hand-alternation principle… It seems more staccatto while learning at least.
- ‘L’ really stresses the right pinky. Same as ‘;’ (for programing)
- ‘I’ and ‘U’ should switch if hand-alternation does work.
- I do miss the ‘Z’, ‘X’, ‘C’, ‘V’ combination (to a lesser extent ‘Q’ and ‘W’
- ‘F’ is a bit inconvenient…
If Dvorak doesn’t satisfy me in two weeks, i’m going to try Colemak…
P.S. Soon I should have some keyboard layouts prepared for Mac users…
