What kind of keyboard layout do you have?

qwertyiuop FTW!

The first two fingers on your right hand are dyslexic. You should get that checked out before it spreads to the rest of your hand.

I use both, DVORAK is excellent for coding.

The QWERTY layout was actually created to decrease typing speed but people adapted...

QWERTY, but I'm going to migrate to Dvorak someday, when I have lots of time to spare...

same as cenotaph, but I am going to primarily use a G15 keyboard and I don't know if you can mod that into Dvorak (you have to have a certain slope to your keyboard to mod it, don't know if the G15 has that). The reason for modding is so that I don't have to press the S key to type an O or something XD

Heh, so it's spelled "duh-VOR-ack"

BORAK? WTF is that.

I use PIMP. That's the layout for kings. That's right, the P is on there twice; because it's an important letter. (It's in the words Penis, Payroll, and Hot Ebony Pitches (sp?))



(Now that I checked it out, I actually have an AZERTY, for some obscure and possibly paranormal reason. I was sure I had a PIMP.. No wait, my mom has a PIMP, now I remember how it went! )

Can't say I remember what the Dvorak looks like lol

qwerty all the way. There's absoultely no point in using a dvorak keyboard layout when qwerty is by FAR the standard.

I already type uber fast on qwerty. I don't think it's worth learning a whole new layout to squish in a couple more words per minute.

QWERTY!
What's Dvorak used for?

Dvorak studied letter frequencies and the physiology of people's hands and created a layout to adhere to these principles:

* Letters should be typed by alternating between hands.
* For maximum speed and efficiency, the most common letters and digraphs should be the easiest to type. This means that they should be on the home row, which is where the fingers rest, and under the strongest fingers.
* The least common letters should be on the bottom row, which is the hardest row to reach.
* The right hand should do more of the typing, because most people are right-handed.
* digraphs should not be typed with adjacent fingers.
* Stroking should generally move from the edges of the board to the middle. An observation of this principle is that, for many people, when tapping fingers on a table, it is easier going from little finger to index than vice versa. This motion on a keyboard is called inboard stroke flow.[4]
