I didn't change anyhting. So hkjkl etr aro on different keys now. You need some training to learn it. But it can be done. It will take up to two month until you reach your current speed using dvorak. Also make sure that you you *always* have the same keyboard layout using a workspace. Eg on Windows you can switch per window. However I noticed that it took more time remembering which setting I had assigned to which window than doing the typing :-)
Depending on your typing needs you also should know about :abbrev ctrl-n mappings etc. They can save you typing as well. But you probably already know about them. Don't forget: You'll continue typing for years. And using one layout onnly will naturally stress some fingers more than others. So switching occasionally can be a good thing. I don't have a proof for that. Its a feeling only. Maybe using a good keyboard makes a bigger difference for the fingers ? Personally I don't regret having learned dvorak.
