Haven’t tried it personally, but from what I know it’s supposed to fix some of QWERTY’s pitfalls. QWERTY was originally made for typewriters and has some things in mind to avoid jamming (i.e. placing letters that appear next to each other in words far from each other on the keyboard). Modern keyboards don’t have those mechanical limitations any more; from what I know DVORAK and other alternative layouts try to optimise things by placing most used letters on the home row and alternating between hands, but now have to overcome the fact that maybe 99% of people are used to QWERTY.
try Dvorak
Isn’t that just keys in different places. How does that help long term?
