Dvorak Layout Diagram
By request, here's a quick typographical representation of the Dvorak
keyboard layout. I never put this up before because when I created my
pages all (more like "both of") the other Dvorak pages had layout
pictures. For a prettier picture, try the Dvorak International Web
Page or The Dvorak Keyboard by Marcos Huerta.
Shifted:
{ }
" < > P Y F G C R L ? +
A O E U I D H T N S _
: Q J K X B M W V Z
Lowercase:
[ ]
' , . p y f g c r l / =
a o e u i d h t n s -
; q j k x b m w v z
These are only the keys that change, plus "a" and "m", which have the
same positions in both QWERTY and Dvorak. This particular arrangement
is common to most Mac, DOS/Windows, and OS/2 Dvorak layouts, but it is
not strictly ANSI standard Dvorak.
ANSI places both square brackets on the same key (requiring a shift
for one), omits curly brackets (which usually end up both on the same
key too), and leaves the +/= key on the topmost row.
