[PLUG] Dvorak Keyboard [WAS: AntiAd HOSTS file to DNS?]
|
I, too, took a serious look at Dvorak about 3 years ago when a
sadistic doctor at Bryn Mawr stuck needles in my hand/arm and gave me
electric shocks to see if there was any "nerve damage". I don't know if
there was any damage before he started but there sure was after he was
done :-(
I could never take the final step and commit to changing though because
too often I was at a customer's site and could not rely on being able to
quickly and/or easily changing the QUERTY to Dvorak.
What are you doing to make the switch? Did you buy a special keyboard?
I know that Windows NT has a way to switch a normal keyboard to Dvorak
(have to be administrator + probably have to reboot). What about Linux?
I'll bet there's a trivially simple way to get X to remap the keyboard -
probably could switch back and forth on a whim :-)
