A few months ago I have decided to switch to the Dvorak layout. After using QWERTY (well, QWERTZ,
|
|||
|
|
to be precise) for almost 17 years, it was a hard decision, but now I think it worthed the try. I
|
|||
|
|
started with the UK (Dvorak with UK punctuation) layout, and in about four weeks, I’ve almost
|
|||
|
|
reached my original typing speed. Today I have modified the Hungarian xkb definitions file to add
|
|||
|
|
the Hungarian accended letters like ű to the layout, so I don’t have to use dead keys anymore
|
|||
|
|
(which apparently turned out to be a problem, as the Linux version of Java doesn’t support dead
|
|||
|
|
keys at all).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Best thing is, as I never learned proper 10-finger typing, but learned Dvorak that way, I can
|
|||
|
|
switch between QWERTY and Dvorak more or less painlessly (about 10 minutes of confusion, so to
|
|||
|
|
say).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Conclusion: I don’t know yet if this was actually a good decision, but it wasn’t bad, after all.
|
|||
|
|
But seeing people’s faces when they try to type on my machine totally worths it.
