After resigning from my job at an IP firm, I decided to undertake the learning and use of Dvorak over QWERTY. I got rather proficient at it and like it a lot.<p>Programmer’s Dvorak is particularly awesome – my most often used keys were readily available and my typing speeds were much higher.<p>Something suffered though. My emacs environment used a Dvorak command remapping mode that played nice with some of my other major modes but broke the majority of my most often used commands in some very important modes. I chose to forgo Dvorak and switch back to QWERTY because I didn’t want to maintain multiple different remapping packages for my Emacs environment, BIG pain in the ass.<p>I did, however, become a much better QWERTY typer because of it and greatly wish to become ambi. Maybe my next go will be a project in itself to better support Dvorak with my Emacs environment!
