Poll: Who uses Dvorak keyboard layout? - Poll please!

[miniyazz]

How did you learn though? I'm learning to type with all my fingers i'm slowly getting used to where the keys are, i think being a member here is helping, giving me a reason to type

I used this FireFox add-on to start with, just working through the lessons there (unfortunately the displayed keyboard doesn't change from QWERTY, but that doesn't really matter) and then started playing Typing Of The Dead (for Windows) - it's a bit retro but you can buy it from Amazon methinks or find it elsewhere if you're feeling naughty and live in a country where piracy's ok (Somalia for example)

don't see the point in changing, at all

I've swapped back to Qwerty, just easier, not worth my hassle, no other keyboard i ever use will be Dvorak so I'm not going to bother! I do need some white spirit now though to get the tipex off, so if anything, Dvorak is a curse!

Fool, for using tip-ex! Sticky labels are the way to go.

I still use the hunt and peck method. I can type without looking at the keyboard at approx 60wpm but I can't maintain it for long. I've been doing this since I've been a kipper (just over 10 years).

Has anyone changed/broke the habit after such a long period of time? Now is quite a bad time for me to consider this I have a ton of assignment/programming module due for this year @ uni

Always qwerty.

Well if I'm typing in English at work then I use Qwertz
At Home it's Qwerty unless I'm typing in Czech or Russian

It's different. I cocked up a few of the keys while swapping them around, h and u need to be hit pretty hard now. I predict typing inaccurately and slowly for a while on here. An image of the new layout on screen is helpful.

Thank you for this

Why didn't you just swap the keys around?

Hope it works out! It took me a couple of months of slowness.
