dvorak allows you to type faster and has less stress on your hands then qwerty

LIAR !!!


As for dvorak, I'm sure there was a post about this. As Lead Head said it's a lot less stress on your hands ... as in there is no pain involved in typing (in case you experience pain while typing using the lovely qwerty layout so generously provided to you free of charge) ... oh I forgot carpal tunnel which seems to be caused in part by touch-typing on a keyboard not designed for it (qwerty) ... remember that qwerty was designed to slow people down and stop your typewriter from jamming (this means typing at most 2 keys at once) ... ahhh, and really most people still use typewriters, don't they ? why else would they be using a keyboard layout designed to stop typewriters from jamming ...

Nope. Only the last part is true. Basically some guy (no idea who) had to play around with the order of the letters to make them less likely to jam. He paid no attention to the layout of the keys and QWERTY resulted.
EDIT:To clarify, he played around with the arms with the letters on them, not the keys.

It's very confusing if you convert a British keyboard to dvorak.

I want a dvorak keyboard.. Trouble is, aside from never having paid for a keyboard ever, keyboard shortcuts.

Like for my music player (amaroK) I press super (button that at least usually has the windows icon on it) and either of Z, X, C, V and B to go previous track, play, pause, stop or next track. On a qwerty keyboard all those letters are next to eachother right above the super key. On dvorak, it would be a bitch to either change the keyboard shortcuts (assuming that's even possible) or to put up with the standard ones designed for qwerty, unless the shortcuts would be different for dvorak?

And in games, W, S, A and D for movement - do you always have to change (at least) them, that would be annoying for some people..

Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.
