I'm a balanced Windows/Mac OS X/Linux user. One day I switched from QWERTY to Dvorak keyboard layout. The transition went well, but as I make mistakes from time to time I wonder what would be the worst thing I'll encounter. Thus this repo.
Please suggest by raising issues if you have any idea how to show it.
As a start I listed a few examples here.
| Dvorak | QWERTY | Ctrl | Alt | Shift | Super | Common Effect | Common Mitigation | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | A | - | - | - | - | Same | - | None |
| O | S | Y | - | - | - | Save->Open | Cancel the Open attempt and go back to Save. | Medium |
| E | D | - | - | - | Y | Show Desktop->Open Explorer | Close the Explorer window and show desktop again | Medium |
| U | F | - | Y | - | - | File menu->U menu or nothing (if there's no such an item) | Alt+F once or twice | Low |
| H | J | - | - | - | - | No common use | - | Low |
| T | K | Y | - | - | - | Search bar->New tab | New tab is almost the same as search in most modern web browsers | Meduim |
| N | L | - | - | - | Y | Lock screen->Nothing | Try do the right thing | Low |
| S | ; | - | - | - | - | No common use | - | Low |
| Dvorak | QWERTY | control | option | shift | command | Common Effect | Common Mitigation | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| , | W | - | - | - | Y | Want to close the window or tab but preference is opened | Close the preference window and try again. | Low |
Reversed effect might be worthy to list as well in case.
So far the most obvious pain is that ^C^V becomes so hard. That's another topic which frequent combinations become harder.
