  • android-googlepinyin-dvorak

    Dvorak version of Google Pinyin for Android

  • I use Dvorak and regularly type in both English and Chinese.

    None of the Pinyin input methods on the Play Store support Dvorak so I had to decompile and modify Google's APK and rearrange it to Dvorak in the XML layout files.

    I never learned QWERTY, so I'm extremely bad at typing with it even on a phone.

  • Conkey

    A keyboard layout for conlangers

  • I made my own crossplatform multilingual layout [0]. Although it’s based on QWERTY, it shouldn’t be hard to remap the Linux and Mac versions to any other base layout, since they’re autogenerated from the Windows version.
