I have always wondered about those Dvorak keyboards. They are touted as
more efficient for rapid typing by their advocates. I took two years of
typing in high school (qwerty keyboards) and I can type fast and accurate
(usually) on a qwerty keyboard. Have the Dvorak advocates ever actually
learned to touch-type on a regular qwerty keyboard? If so, was the typing
inherently faster on a Dvorak keyboard, given similar levels of practice on
each?
I have always though that for those who don't know how to touch-type, the
best keyboard for them is one with alphabetical order: not qwerty, but
abcdef... But I have never seen a keyboard like that.
