Dvorak is nearly pointless. I've been typing in it daily for over a decade, and it has near zero benefit over simply buying a better keyboard and using proper form.


I disagree on dvorak, except in the sense that even dvorak doesn't remap the most awkward keys: backspace and control. If you put backspace on caps lock and control on alt gr (then you can hit it with your right thumb), you are %90 there.

On a Scandinavian keyboard I also put esc on the extra key right of the left shift. My current laptop has a US keyboard but I'll be a smarter shopper next time.
