RE: [KTouch] Dvorak layout

What's wrong with Dvorak - ABCD? You know, you aren't supposed to look at the (physical) keyboard when touch typing. ;)

Now there is Dvorak in KTouch, but as far i can see it only changes layout preview in KTouch window. It isnt emulationg Dvorak keyboard, so user must manualy change his system layout to Dvorak, to do some fast typing training, and back to qwerty after it. This should work without changing system layout (so when user presses "s" on keyboard, KTouch should show "o" in his window, etc).

Another thing is Dvorak-specific tutorial. Ive been looking on the internet for Dvorak lessons, and they are much different than training qwerty with "jfff fffj..."

I agree that the tutorials would have to be different for Dvorak layout as well.

Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose? If you want learn to type with Dvokak, you should use Dvorak.
