I'm glad you figured out how to make it work for you. But in a way you're kind of proving my point when you're saying you use QWERTY on your laptop and your phone. You may be able to context switch fine but I was having a hell of a time. Also last time I tried was probably 15+ years ago.
- Symbiote 5y agoI've used Dvorak for over 15 years. I keep Qwerty on my phone, since the advantages of Dvorak are disadvantages on a phone keyboard -- I want the letters to be spread all over the place, so the swipe-to-type thing works. Jobs differ, but I very rarely type more than a word on computer keyboards other than my own. If a colleague asks me to help with something, I almost always think it's more polite to ask them to type.
- wussboy 5y agoYou need to learn qwerty. Then you need to learn Dvorak (or in my opinion the far superior Colemak). Then you need to learn to switch between them. It can be done but it’s three separate stages.
- codetrotter 5y agoAgree. Thinking back, I remember that for after I learned to use Dvorak I did actually struggle with QWERTY for a while. So for some time I stuck to only Dvorak. And then I learned to switch between both.
