- <p>Since about 2011 I've started using dvorak as my main keyboard layout and like the efficiency compared to QWERTY.</p>

- <h2 id="notes">Notes</h2>
- <h3 id="xkeyb">Note to self (2015-10-30)</h3>
- <p>Note to self: x-keyboard-config on arch linux overwrites the
- file where the dvorak russian keymap is stored and by that the
- xserver fails to set the keymap, returning to default qwerty.
- This can be solved by loading the keymap from a custom
- location? Or maybe to pin the file so that the package manager
- doesn't overwrite it?</p>
-
- <h2 id="dosbox">Dosbox</h2>
- <p>Dvorak is also usable in dosbox via a custom mapper file that your can find <a href="files/dvorak-0.74.map">here</a><br />
- You can enable the layout by saving this in your settings directory and <pre>mapperfile=dvorak-0.74.map</pre> to your sdl section of your dosbox config.</p>
-
- <h3 id="dosboxupdate">Update (2020-06-11)</h3>
- <p>Dvorak is now built in as a keymap in dosbox.
- You can enable the layout by running <pre>KEYB dv103</pre> in a dosbox
- prompt or setting the following in your dosbox config file.
- </p>
- <pre>
-[dos]
-keyboardlayout=dv103
- </pre>
-
- <h2 id="dos">Dvorak in dos</h2>
- <p>To use dvorak in dos download this <a href="files/dvorak_dos.tar">file</a> containing dvorak.com<br />
- Transfer it to your C:\DOS folder for example and add this to your AUTOEXEC.bat:</p>
- <pre>C:\DOS\DVORAK.COM</pre>
- <p>When your computer boots the program will say DVORAK is loaded and you're good to go</p>
-
- <p>The MS-DOS supplemental disk also contains a dvorak keyboard layout. Install and put this in your AUTOEXEC.bat:</p>
- <pre>KEYB DV,,C:\DOS\DVORAK.SYS</pre>
-
- <h2 id="russian">Russian (2014-10-07</h2>
- <p>When learning russian I had to type some stuff in russian, as I found
- out that there was a phonetic keyboard I was excited but it didn't work on
- dvorak layout. So some guy named Oleg made a phonetic russian keyboard
- layout in dvorak and you can download it
- <a href="files/phonetic_dvorak.gz">here</a>. When you want to use it you
- have to append the information from the file to
- <pre>/usr/share/X11//xkb/symbols/ru</pre>
- When you want to load it you can
- type
- <pre>setxkbmap -layout ru -variant phonetic_dvorak</pre>
- </p>
-
- <h3 id="russianupdate">Update (2015-04-16)</h3>
- <p>Since having to setup the keyboard after login can be useful if you
- don't have the rights to edit system configuration files on your system(eg.
- work) but it's not a durable solution for your own system. If you want to
- make these things semipermanent you can use the handy program called
- <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/localectl.html">
- localectl
- </a> which writes an xorg.conf.d/ file. In my specific case these are the
- commands to set the keymap for the console and for within X. For the
- console I only use normal dvorak whereas in X I want to be able to
- switch(with menu key) and use the right alt as compose key.
- <pre>
-# localectl set-x11-keymap --no-convert dvorak,ru pc104 ,phonetic_dvorak compose:ralt,grp:menu_toggle
-# localectl set-keymap --no-convert dvorak
- </pre>
