Greetings, what keyboard layouts do you know and use regularly? What is your experience with them?

I’ve learned Colemak about a year ago, and got very familiar with it, to the point where I forget QWERTY. I was planning to learn Dvorak, but I’m kind of hesitant, given how much effort I’ve already poured into Colemak…

    I pretty much always have both my hands on the keyboard so its not a big deal. That’s only useful when you have to take a hand off the keyboard for a mouse, but I just use my trackpad. And with vim anyway the hotkeys for copy, paste, etc are just single keys.

      On the topic of vim: did you manually remap all the keybindings in vim or do you just type them as they were in QWERTY, but now in Dvorak?

        I didn’t remap anything, most don’t. Luckily the navigation hljk feels correct on Dvorak.
