Any good Dvorak keyboards? Qwerty is the old typewriter layout, Dvorak is way better.
From the developers:
- "This is a FULL FEATURED public Beta of the Super Keyboard. We will release a Pro version soon, when its polished and meets our quality standard. When the Pro version is released, some features in this free version will be locked.(Emphasis added)
In the mean time, ALL FEATURES are available for free."
Here's one thing I simply don't get:
If I'm not using all ten fingers for my writing, what's the purpose of all these thumb- or indexfinger driven keyboards to use QWERTY-layout?
I have limited experience in typing with just one finger. And if I have to use just a couple of thumbs or a single finger, then alphabetic order might actually make it easier.
But - I'm not sure, since all layouts i've found, so far, use traditional typewriter layout.

The use of the qwerty style keyboard was selected because many typists in the early era of the typewriter, the high tech office item of its day, would jam the arms which had the letters because they were to fast when it was first arranged alphabetically. Now that word processing does not depend on the old mechanics, there is no reason for the current qwerty style. Except tradition and inertia.

Sorry about the run-on sentence but that is the only way to get it all in.

Yes, you are right : "there is no reason for the current qwerty style. Except tradition and inertia".
The qwerty is a ballast of the 19th century.
Now there is a new alternative with alphabetical order and a modification based on statistical analysis.
