- Summary: What's it all about?
-
- Okay, I've heard of the Dvorak keyboard... Can anyone answer some questions
- about it (or point me to where I can get them answered)?
-
- 1.) What's the layout? Does it differ internationally like the QWERTY does?
- (You know how the symbols tend to be rearranged depending upon
- what country you're in, etc.)
-
- 2.) How does it handle international characters (umlauts, accents, etc.)?
-
- 3.) What are some advantages or disadvantages of the Dvorak keyboard?
- In short, why does it even exist?
-
- Thanks in advance... and yes, I'm aware that this will post all over the
- world because I cross-posted to "general". So sue me.
