- I've been reading (with great interest) the various postings discussing
- the Dvorak and other keyboard layouts.
-
- Is there a keyboard layout available which will switch the layout of the
- Arrow Keys *only* such that instead of their current layout:
-
- -----------------
- | < | > | v | ^ | (left,right,down,up)
- -----------------
-
- They will instead act as if they arranged like this:
-
- -----------------
- | < | v | ^ | > | (left,down,up,right)
- -----------------
-
- I've used the "hjkl" keys in vi for so long that I get confused/annoyed
- whenever I try to use the arrow keys on my Mac without looking at them.
-
- Please email any info, I will summarize to the net.

- ps: Yes, I've looked through sumex, All I found there was a dvorak layout
- and a number of layouts for different countries.
