Not just a fancy key arrangement on your phone’s screen ;-)
- jbaber 4y agoAh, I've been using some setting on my Samsung phone to make bluetooth keyboards dvorak for many years now.
- wartijn_ 4y agoI think that option has been available since way before ios16. The situation for Colemak is still that it’s possible to use an external keyboard with that layout, but there’s no on screen keyboard (unless you use a third party keyboard)
- peatmoss 4y agoYeah, I can confirm hardware keyboards have supported Dvorak layouts in iOS since ages ago. This change is only for on screen, which I am apparently a weirdo for preferring dvorak. It was one of the things that stuck in my craw most when switching back from Android. It does take time to learn the Dvorak layout when thumb/swipe typing, but I find the propensity for distance between most letters, except some common cases that prediction nails, to be far preferable to QWERTY.
- partdavid 4y agoAh, okay, that's a useful clarification.
