If !OLPC is meant to be intuitive for children who have never used a computer before, can the next version ship with !colemak or !dvorak ?

windows is another example, but not as obvious as flash
-
@openuniverse how can a keyboard layout be proprietary?
-
@jrick it would have to be copyrighted or patented, the way the dewey decimal system is. if either seem…
-
@openuniverse well copyrighted or patented != proprietary, but I highly doubt the dvorak layout is either
-
-
Do !Dvorak keyboard users really find it makes a difference? I still get RSI, was going to give up, but using QWERTY again, RSI gets worse.

@dhraak Perhaps I should switch to !Colemak now in order to discard all the bad habits picked up since switching to !Dvorak 8–10 years ago

@trombonechamp I simply got used to it after a month or so. At least you don't have to worry about hjkl nonsense :)
-
@trombonechamp dunno about !colemak/#emacs, but !dvorak/!vim seems to work well, with j/k close and h/l on the correct sides of the hand
-
@trombonechamp I found emacs keybindings in !colemak better than the querty ones, just use them! (but in vim they were terrible for me!)

@mjjzf: !esperanto !colemak and !freesoftware overlap for me, and there were quite a few dvorak people in the esperanto channel at freenode.

@samarthur he i make my own !dvorak layout, i put the most used symbols for software dev where i can reach them easily, and im very happy =)
-
@dread I'm planning on switching over eventually as well, my pod-mate switched last week, sent me the comic - awesome! 45 wpm to 90 - WTF?!?
-
@dread it almost took me a week to get used to it. after a month i could write at an acceptable speed (40wpm)

Tried !Emacs and !Vim but I have to go with Emacs. I'm using the !Colemak keyboard layout, and the cursor movement in Vim is uncomfortable.

@dhraakellian That's true. I found it right after I said that. Now I am having another thought ... Thank you!
-
I wonder if I should try switching from !Dvorak to !Colemak at some point. Does Colemak have any advantage for one already free of #QWERTY?
-
@dhraakellian I did so because of improvements in programming, and because of ZXCV keys for the most part. Some of the typing is challenging
-
@dhraakellian I tried both but for me !Colemak was better, because with Dvorak I easily had some pain on the right hand. Too right-oriented.

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

@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

I wonder if !colemak would allow me to type these 140 characters messages in one minute. That would be pretty impressive. Take that QWERTY!!

finds it interesting how much he has learned to like VIM these past few weeks.
