I tried Dvorak before.  It was great.  Even with the keys
mislabeled, I managed to type well and comfortably.  Then
I tried to vi and wiped out completely.  Yeah, I know,
nobody in the NeXT universe likes vi but me, but I find it
very quick.

Has anybody worked out a set of (vi) remappings to make
this work better?
