I too type Dvorak on an ortholinear 40% keyboard with a Vim optimised layout[0], and it's the bee's nees.
Unfortunately, both Vim and Dvorak pre-date typical copy (Ctrl+C), cut (Ctrl+X), paste (Ctrl+V). It's not the typing, but these inconveniences that make me think of going with some Colemak variant. Even though both of Vim and Dvorak pre-date dedicated arrow keys, HJKL on Dvorak is still saner than any Colemak layout I've seen so far. I dream about some alternative that strikes a good balance between all of these.

- MivLives 6y agoCouldn't you get QMK to send CTRL+C, or whatever as a dedicated key on a different layer? Easier then rebinding every program.
- 1MachineElf 6y agoSure, but I just use One Shot Mods for the most part. So I hit Mods1+C,C and that yeilds Ctrl+C. I can also add Ctrl keys on the bottom row. The point of SB4DV is for it to work on anything with as few as 33 keys. Adapting it to a 48-key Planck leaves room for extra keys such as these, while the core is the same across different keyboards.
