-
- I use a dvorak layout myself. This is what I did:
-
- Popped all the keys off my keyboard, put them in the DVORAK layout.
-
- Got a TSR called dvorak.com to remap the keys. But I don't know where
- I got it, so you can get /pc/keyboard/dvorak.zip from garbo.uwasa.fi,
- which will do it through ANSI keyboard redefinition (you need an
- ANSI.SYS equivalent). Or, you can get
- mirrors/msdos/keyboard/keymap00.zip from wuarchive.wustl.edu. This
- lets you easily switch between the two, but you'll have to mess around
- with it a bit to get it to default to dvorak.
-
- For Windows, all you need to do is go to the Control
- Panel:International and select the Dvorak layout.
-
- Problems:
-
- There is no way to fool programs that do their own keyboard reads.
- Lots of games do this.
-
- Yuval
-
- P.S. I really like my new layout. After a few weeks, I can finally
- type half-decently! Pretty soon, I'll be burning rubber.
