Nowadays maybe a touch-typing learner could just go straight to Dvorak (or other arrangement) rather than QWERTY.

- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoEh... that really depends. As someone who doesn't use QWERTY, I would think twice before using anything but QWERTY, especially for a child just starting out. Even if QWERTY is inferior, it's also nearly universal; if the kid goes to a public school, they'll use computers that are in QWERTY and that probably can't change to something else.
- euroderf 4y agoGood point... equipment from the lowest bidder.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoMore like aggressively locked down software stacks; every major OS can switch keyboard layouts, but I wouldn't bet on school IT letting the kids have enough control to do that.
