I guess I could try that. But it does seems like a lot of time to get used
to that. I mean, learning how to use C-n, C-f, etc... instead of using the
arrows took quite some time.
Lets say I want to keep the bindings at their current positions, how would I
go about that? Would I have to remap all bindings? I guess I could check
before each command is executed, what the command was. If it was a
self-insert-command I would do nothing. Otherwise I would translate the
binding to the dvorak layout, and the run the function. This would result in
that the regular typing will be the dvorak way, but all other function calls
would be mapped against qwerty. I guess no one has such code lying around?
;)
