Dvorak resources

-

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

Notes

-

Note to self (2015-10-30)

-

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?

- -

Dosbox

-

Dvorak is also usable in dosbox via a custom mapper file that your can find here
- You can enable the layout by saving this in your settings directory and 

mapperfile=dvorak-0.74.map
to your sdl section of your dosbox config.

Update (2020-06-11)

-

Dvorak is now built in as a keymap in dosbox. - You can enable the layout by running 

KEYB dv103
in a dosbox - prompt or setting the following in your dosbox config file. -

- 
-[dos]
-keyboardlayout=dv103
-
- -

Dvorak in dos

-

To use dvorak in dos download this file containing dvorak.com
- Transfer it to your C:\DOS folder for example and add this to your AUTOEXEC.bat:

- 
C:\DOS\DVORAK.COM
-

When your computer boots the program will say DVORAK is loaded and you're good to go

- -

The MS-DOS supplemental disk also contains a dvorak keyboard layout. Install and put this in your AUTOEXEC.bat:

- 
KEYB DV,,C:\DOS\DVORAK.SYS

Russian (2014-10-07

-

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 - here. When you want to use it you - have to append the information from the file to - 

/usr/share/X11//xkb/symbols/ru
- When you want to load it you can - type - 
setxkbmap -layout ru -variant phonetic_dvorak
-

Update (2015-04-16)

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 - - localectl - 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. - 

-# localectl set-x11-keymap --no-convert dvorak,ru pc104 ,phonetic_dvorak compose:ralt,grp:menu_toggle
-# localectl set-keymap --no-convert dvorak
