Thank you! Well I'm sure the Dvorak layout is much better than the QWERTY layout, but from what I've read, Colemak makes it easier to use default shortcuts such as Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Z... I need to be on holiday to learn the new layout though.

If you're willing to put in the time to learn a whole new keyboard layout then you should be willing to put in the time to change any default shortcuts that you don't like! But personally I haven't found them a problem at all, even in Emacs.

Cut/copy/paste is annoying for about a week, then you're fine. Here's my learning curve: http://www.superjoesoftware.com/temp/dvorak.png http://www.superjoesoftware.com/temp/dvorak.png I think now (2 years or so later) it's between 90-120 depending on how many typos I make. You aren't really going to be super fast with dvorak but I do notice that my hands don't feel so tweaked.
