However that Uwe> would mean, Many years ago in grad school, I tried switching to dvorak. At the time I had a keyboard that had a switch, so switching was easy. I spent a weekend learning it and I think I got pretty good at it. Not as good as qwerty, but decent. Uwe> - to undo and redo neuronal structures which are almost hard wired Uwe> into my brain (touch typing) Uwe> - getting stacked when using somebody else machine. That was exactly the problem. After the weekend, I went back to school and started using the school computers. I couldn't type at all anymore! After that experience, I pretty much gave up on any non-qwerty input method. I even keep my xemacs customizations of the standard keys to minimum, in case I ever get stuck using an emacs without my inits. I think the only standard key customization I do is make C-s be incremental regexp search. Everything else is standard or on some other custom keymap.
