If you're still using QWERTY, fix that first before worrying about your text editor.
- mod 11y agoI disagree here, as someone who has done both (though admittedly I'm back to qwerty). Dvorak or similar will result in a typing speed improvement, and some physical benefits, but typespeed is rarely the limiting factor when coding.
- bcheung 11y agoI use Dvorak if I'm typing English and it's a full sentence or more. But trying to use vim with Dvorak bindings just seems crazy to me. You wouldn't be able to use the home row arrow keys if you are in dvorak mode. There was some careful consideration with the hotkeys in vim and they were made under the QWERTY assumption.
- pklausler 11y agoYes, they were, and that's a real problem with vi(m).
- viiralvx 11y agoWhat's the point of switching to Dvorak when I can already get 125 WPM using QWERTY? I'll pass, on switching.
