A month of Dvorak, my experience and my practice methods
Finally, if you're worried about shortcuts such as Ctrl + C, don't worry. On Mac there's a layout called Dvorak-Qwerty ⌘, which changes to Qwerty when you hold down the ⌘ key. For Linux and Windows, there's this, https://github.com/kentonv/dvorak-qwerty, this one is linux only: https://github.com/tbocek/dvorak, and this one is windows only: https://github.com/chid/dvorak-qwerty/tree/master/dverty. I can't verify the windows ones but the linux ones work great.

Looking to get a remapable keyboard
Also if you ever have trouble with things such as ctrl + c, there's a program that fixes that: https://github.com/kentonv/dvorak-qwerty (or if you're on mac they have a built in option for it.)
- Has anyone gotten Dvorak Control Qwerty to run on Android?
- I'm learning Unity on Linux with Dvorak and all the shortcuts are fubar. Anyone have experience remapping all the unity shortcuts to dvorak that may have some tips?

Did you buy a specific keybord when you started with Dvorak?
BTW if you're not on a mac and are struggling with keybinds, this is very helpful.

I can type 120-140 wpm with QWERTY, should I bother switching to Dvorak?
Shortcut keys aren't an issue for me thanks to this Linux / Windows program: https://github.com/kentonv/dvorak-qwerty It's been fun learning so far.

CTRL+C, CTRL+W
Dvorak was designed to ease typing, not shortcuts. You might want to try out Dvorak-Qwerty, which uses Dvorak for typing but QWERTY when you use keyboard shortcuts.

I can say I've finally done it!
I use Dvorak control Qwerty. Essentially when you hold control your layout functions as Qwerty. On mac it is available as its own language and on windows you have to download it. Using windows it has been decent but doesn't work quite 100% of the time. Still it is the best that I have found.

To germans out there.
Not German but French here, similar problems! On Windows I'm using this as base to retain the Ctrl keybindings https://github.com/bradfeehan/Dvorak-QWERTY-Ctrl which mostly works (some apps behave slightly different).
- What happens if I change these four keys to Dvorak so that it is the same as qwerty and colemak. Would it cause a lot of problems?(To preserve the most used keyboard shortcuts.)

Should I learn dvorak?
This layout has been a lifesaver for me! I've spent years memorising QWERTY shortcuts and I didn't have the time to learn those along with a new layout, so I found that one after quite a bit of searching.

AutoHotkey scripts for Dvorak + QWERTY Modifier for Windows
I'd been running an AutoHotkey script for years to map my QWERTY layout to Dvorak except when pressing modifier keys (ctrl, alt, windows). But I recently set up a security key and the one-time passwords didn't play nicely with it. I tried using bradfeehan's custom keyboard layout, but couldn't get it to work well (maybe because I'm on Windows 11 preview?).
