Still learning Dvorak
April 11th, 2008 — BoomerSince I’m trying to learn Dvorak, I’m trying to keep the amount of qwerty typing to a minimum. I wanted to show an article I wrote about why you should use Linux, but I could not find it.
As for Dvorak, I’m now up to 29 WPM. I still have to use qwerty from time to time, when I have a lot of typing to do or need to typing quickly. I have noticed that at times I forget for half a second where the keys are, and I stumble a little bit. I should have started a week earlier when I had more spare time, however, I’m determined to learn and use Dvorak every day as my standard layout. I did a test and I wrote 65 words per minute.
Oh, and if anyone knows any programs that could help Dvorak users , such as perhaps on that changes the shortcuts to ctrl+j and ctrl+k for ctrl+c and ctrl +v, or anything else for that matter,tell me in the comments.
More blog posts will arrive as soon as I can write without much thought and much speed. By the way, this was all written in Dvorak!
