Not the same thing at all, but when I used to write a ton of Perl, I had a board on which I mapped the shift-number keys (punctuation) to the F-keys. It was really rather nice. These days I mostly use keyboards with fully programmable firmware (QMK, when possible) and remap things as needed. Things that stay pretty consistent are swapping caps lock and control (the way dog intended it), adding pipe as layer1-~ (shift-\ is terrible to type with one's right hand, and somehow I haven't trained myself to do that two-handed), and mapping parens to later1-o and -p. Never played with a Dvorak or Colemak.
