   @skreech2 ^w is too close to ^q for my tastes... (on qwerty, other layouts have other issues)

     @mathstuf fine Vote on the brainstorm as you see fit :-) I think ^W and ^Q are annoyingly close too

     @skreech2 @wishmaster Only for you poor QWERTY-using saps! :) (but feel free to laugh at the silly !dvorak user on other occasions) !kde

     @mathstuf I always thought the potential damage of Ctrl+ z|x|c|v so close to each other was even more staggering.

     @dhraakellian I am actually very fascinated with Dvorak. I just need some brain surgery to be able to use it.

     @mjjzf If you're already proficient with Qwerty and want to switch !colemak might be a better choice than !dvorak

     @mjjzf both !colemak and !dvorak are improvements over qwerty, but one of colemak's design goals was (iirc) easier switching from qwerty

     @dhraakellian Interesting, I never heard of that one. Will look into it.

     @dhraakellian Then i'd propose the same key (would be ",", I guess) if you are using dvorak. !kde
