The Dvorak keyboard was invented nearly a hundred years ago. How's it
looking as a viable alternative?
Well, 25 years ago I had to write my own Dvorak device driver for use with
MS-DOS, now it's included in at least Windows and Linux (a Dvorak mapping,
not my device driver).
So much more viable. :)
If you think that a keyboard with fancy arrows on it will take off any
quicker, you're extremely hopeful.
I wouldn't be surprised if it did, although a standard set of keyboard
shortcuts is more likely.
MUCH more practical will be to use vim conceal etc, leave your source
code unchanged, and just change the way it looks to you. There are
similar features available in a number of editors.
I'll have to look into that.
