I used to use the Dvorak layout just for typing, and can attest that it doesn't work all that well. Particularly when editing just a character here or there, I found myself unconsciously using Qwerty. I'll have to try again sometime as pure Dvorak, just to see whether I can stick with it this time. > I did this last summer, 100% dvorak for a couple months or so.

Just create a keymap/dvorak.vim file in ~/.vim/ (or your preferred place for vim plugins) and :set keymap=dvorak to have it switch to the Dvorak layout for insert and replace modes only, leaving command modes in qwerty. - Eric /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
