That never became a problem for me. The worst was the up/down left/right keys in vim, but you just get used to the new ones. You're already changing the complete layout, which has totally messed up everything you type. I went through a solid month at least where I couldn't type much in dvorak or qwerty. Losing focus for a split second meant splatting gibberish to the screen or causing untold havoc in vim. It's been probably ten years since I learned it, and I still occasionally forget which layout I'm typing in. What's another mental hit for easy shortcuts on top of that? If it's a big enough problem, update your program's keyboard layout to bring back those easy shortcuts.
I added dvorak as a regularly-used keyboard layout because of cramping issues while typing. Those went away immediately and never came back, so it was a win for me.
- mod 11y agoDid you not remap vim nav keys to just be the same home row spots? I don't think my brain could handle them moving.
- godshatter 11y agoI didn't bother. Once you're used to them, they don't really get in the way. I usually change key settings for games that use aswd to move around, since that's more of a pain.
