I've been using Dvorak since the late 90's. When I type on a qwerty keyboard, it feels like my fingers have to fly all over the place to hit all the keys.

With that said, Dvorak has a few gremlins. The most annoying are the y/f keys where I have to shift my hands slightly to hit those keys. The copy/paste ctrl-c and ctrl-v keyboard shortcuts are also a lot less convenient but I just deal with it. It's also annoying having to rebind keys in pretty much every keyboard-heavy game.

I've never really thought of Colemak as a big enough improvement over Dvorak to relearn how to type on that layout, though if you're looking to switch from qwerty it may be worth considering. The Workman layout seems interesting.

ANSI QWERTY TKL. Despite living in Germany, where we usually use ISO. I got used to it when I spent a year in the states and realized how useful it is for writing code. Now I have the differences to the German layout memorized pretty well so I just switch in software whenever I need German characters like ä or ß.

Programmers Dvorak

QWERTY.

I tried Dvorak when I started having RSI issues, but found no improvement after a year, so I switched back. Others clearly have different experiences. 🤷‍♂️

I use Dvorak on a 36 key split ortholinear keyboard

I use a modified Dvorak on the ZSA Moonlander mark l

QWERTY, English UK.

My country is filled with AZERTY keyboards though. No, it's not France.

Wicki-Hayden and Terpstra. Life-changing! Try them:

QWERTY, ЙЦУКЕН, and Danish. The Danish one is the most idiotic. For example:

1. The brackets are almost at the same place, but they are moved one ley to the side - it's pure fucking evil!
2. To type "@", you need AltGr, and that's the only case where it's used

My own custom layout that tries to find a compromise between not fucking too much with the left side keys because of hotkeys, typing en and my mother tongue, and programming.

Also use 28 keys split keyboard, so some macros for some keys.

I swear if one of you French bastards says AZERTY, I'm gonna bring the hammer down.
