      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?

      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.

  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

  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 don’t think we’ll ever truly away from hardware QWERTY. There’s too much money in maintaining that status quo.

  • IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’d say it’s got less to do with making money off the status quo, and more to do with lack of money in any of the alternatives. Most people can’t type fast enough for extra layout efficiency to matter, and even fewer people care.

    • CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Apparently even fewer regularly alternate between formats.

      • IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yeah. It’s one of those things where while a different solution is technically better, the benefit doesn’t come close to outweighing the effort of changing for the overwhelming majority of people. And so the status quo remains.

  I used Dvorak today, until I managed to navigate to the settings menu with my mouse and finally uninstalled it.
