That's why Dvorak has all the vowels on the left half of the keyboard; LACE: R L R L LASH: R L R R LASH has all letters but the L on the home row, and the SH is just a right hard "roll" movement, so it's still easy to type. > LACE actually makes you use the same finger twice if you're > properly touch typing, which is the slowest situation of all. Exactly. Painful. And that very rarely happens with Dvorak, at least not with english or swedish words. It is a royal PITA to type on a Dvorak layout with one hand, though...! *hehe* Though there is one-hand Dvorak of course, and the usual "mirror" hack. > ...
