Had seen a question like this in another sub, thought about asking it in lemmy too.

    I know of two people that switched to Dvorak and both have regrets. Mostly because it’s a pain to switch to any other machine and not look like you’re just learning to type.

      I haven’t had much of a problem switching back and forth between QWERTY and Dvorak between work and personal usage. I feel like you would have to be using Dvorak exclusively for a long time to experience that kind of problem.

      For me, it seems kind of like learning to ride a bike in that just because I have learned another thing has not meant I forgot how to walk.

        I thought about learning Dvorak, but at this stage my fingers just do what I’m thinking, I’m not sure I can unlearn Qwerty.

          I see, that makes sense. To try to avoid that, I have a hotkey configured that remaps my keyboards between the two layouts so that I can maintain a sense of both.
