One of the main reasons for using dvorak-caps mapping or my maltron keyboard is not so much speed of typing, but rather the more relaxed feeling, less and smaller movements, with an eye on RSI prevention. > BTW, I do carry a couple of old 3-button logitech mouse around that I > happen to like :-) :-) I think it would be good if we could get more gui app writers (the gnome people, eg) to think about providing most efficient/convenient ways to do stuff without having to use the mouse.
