For those of you who type with a non-QWERTY layout and use either Emacs or Vim bindings for your text editor, how have you adapted? You would think you'd have to retool your muscle memory for the new bindings, is this the case?
- lelag 10y agoI've been typing in Dvorak for over 10 years. I kept the same shortcut / vim command as standard and I got used to the different physical position. For some shortcut, it is indeed sub-optimal (ctrl+c / v in particular) but it works without any additional configuration on any system / software. That's also one of my reason of choosing US-Dvorak as an alternative to Qwerty rather than more modern / efficient alternatives : it is available in most operating systems out of the box.
