Using Dvorak, I sure have the idea I am an ‘above average’ typist. Though my work does not need real typing speed, it is nice to notice the speed improvement over time and it sure helps in typing code rather easy..

Keyboard problems in GNOME
Thursday, October 9th, 2008I can’t understand why, but as a Dvorak typist I run into problems with GNOME. GNOME has a nice feature to switch the keyboard lay-out from the default, QWERTY, to the Dvorak layout.
But, it doesn’t (reliably) work for Ctrl and Alt keys. I am not sure what causes the troubles, but according to this bug report at gnome.org it is due to some low-level interpretation of the keyboard strokes.
What worries me is that it takes so long for such a report to get handled with. It is a report dating from 2005 and still (10/2008) has the status NEW.
I hope to be able to report progress on this at any time
