I use a different keymap (called "left Hand Dvorak":
http://royalty.mine.nu:81/dvorak.jpg ) so a keymap that makes sense in
QWERTY is close to randomly arranged here. :-(
ObLinux: Notice that Y and U are the same keys in LHD as they are in QWERTY.
I wrote two scripts -- /export/bin/y engages LHD mode and /export/bin/u
switches back to QWERTY. My homebrew /export/bin/y is a bit off -- with
caps lock enabled 123 are unchanged and 4-0 are shifted.
