   Subject: pNN: Re: dvorak keyboards
   From: pereckas@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (pereckas michael s)

   My keyboard is an ordinary Northgate
   101-key keyboard.  I put rub-on letters on the keys for dvorak,
   otherwise I'd have to put both hands on the keyboard to find the "n"
   key :-) Does any one have any ideas for better key labeling?

first i learned touch typing, then i learned the Dvorak layout. if you
are looking at the keyboard for letters, try using  an  ASCII  map  of
them, printed out and glued to the monitor. then you can  simply  look
at the map, rather than the keyboard for the keys.  low tech! :)

   Do any manufacturers have dvorak key caps for  their  keyboards?   Are
   there   any   good  keyboards  with  interchangable  key  caps?   (The
   Northgate  key  caps  are  all have different shapes, depending on the
   position on the keyboard.  Just switching  them  around  would  result
   in keys sticking out at weird heights and angles.)
   
Northgate! i have an Omni-Key Ultra, and there's a two  key  operation
that will change the firmware key remapping between querty and dvorak.
this prevents the need to change software drivers, kernals or anything
else when using different layouts.

for  an  extra  $15 they will send you keytops for dvorak, if you need
them.
