You'd think so, but muscle memory is very powerful. If you're accustomed to a number pad and are typing an e-mail that contains just one reference to a number ( 2.388 ) the default action is still to try to type it on the num pad.
Using the top-row of numeric keys whilst tapping the decimal with the little finger is very slow and awkward by comparison and requires a context-change.
- w1ntermute 13y agoI don't think it would be that difficult. I have a set of custom keyboard shortcuts on my main computer, which runs Linux. But when I have to use someone else's computer that runs Windows or OS X, I have no trouble instantaneously adapting to the shortcut setup on those OSes. And there are plenty of reports of people who primarily use Dvorak but can use Qwerty as well when necessary.
