ImplyingImplicationsEven the Linux nerds who customize everything about their computer are probably still using the QWERTY keyboard layout. I’ve seen a lot or “arch btw” but never seen “dvorak btw”.
I use colemak-dhm btw
apfelaptmak btw
TonyTonyChopperi use Colemak btw
I use Dvorak btw.
Same.
Me too. I’ve used it full time for at least 15 years. Can’t touch type on a qwerty layout at all
How do I make Dvorak make sense in my brain?
Practice!
Typing is one of those things that is just experience. Grab a typing test program and put in the time. It took me a few weeks, starting with doing simple things like the equivalent of jkjlj; sets until my pea brain got the minimal amount of muscle memory to be able to use it in the wild. YMMV but I can still use QWERT as well, but it feels weird and not as natural anymore.
The problem with Dvorak is that it’s English specific. It effectively hampers typing in non Germanic languages. And I’m not about to be switching layouts every time I switch input locales.
Well yeah because I use vim bindings everywhere btw and am not confident I can remap the keys for every application that uses them.
I’m an Arch user and I did try Dvorak for a few weeks. I eventually gave up because it was a huge hassle switching back and forth, remapping game controls, remapping code editor key combos, and so many other remaps. It just wasn’t worth the effort.
I’ve learned all the new combos for Dvorak and I don’t really care that Ctrl + c isn’t next to Ctrl + v anymore tbh
I use Dvorak on Kubuntu btw.
I have a custom keyb BTW.
I use Dvorak BTW.
My times are all set to UTC btw.
Did I mention I boulder? Did I menti
I’m on thumb-board btw (on phone)
I used Dvorak today, until I managed to navigate to the settings menu with my mouse and finally uninstalled it.
