What is the keyboard layout of the dvorak keyboard?


Asked by Marisol Hutchinson on Dec 06, 2021 FAQ



If you have spent any time researching typing, you have probably heard of the Dvorak keyboard layout. In case you are unfamiliar with this, a keyboard layout is the layout of your keys.
Also,
Dvorak / ˈ d v ɔːr æ k / is a keyboard layout for English patented in 1936 by August Dvorak and his brother-in-law, William Dealey, as a faster and more ergonomic alternative to the QWERTY layout (the de facto standard keyboard layout).
Moreover, Whereas QWERTY was designed so keyboards didn’t jam, Dvorak was designed by taking a look at QWERTY and trying to come up with a faster and more efficient layout. People who prefer the Dvorak keyboard argue that it’s more efficient, can increase typing speed, and even offers better ergonomics.
Thereof,
The QWKRFY layout is the most efficient layout created by swapping 5 key pairs on QWERTY. The keys swaps that generate this layout are K/E, J/O, F/T, A/D and G/N. The order of keyswaps, in decreasing order of impact on effort, is shown in blue.
In this manner,
The Workman layout assumes the regular asymmetry and staggered keys that are present in virtually all keyboards. But anyways. What I’ve learned is that the Dvorak layout is flawed.
