I have a few coworkers who use keybaords from Kinesis. I believe that

BTW, the guy who uses Dvorak does use vi; he's just learned where the control keys are.
I have a kinesis keyboard at home. While I agree that it's very pricey, it's worth the price. It's very comfortable on the hands. They did a good job of putting all the keys within hands reach, without having to stretch your fingers to reach keys like "Backspace". The fancier kinesis (the one I have) supports two layouts. The keys are labelled with both. You can, on the fly, switch layouts without having to modify your locale settings. The Kinesis also supports keyboard macros and button remapping. My only gripe with Dvorak (and why it has been hard for me to switch) is that most programs have hotkeys that assume you're using Qwerty. This goes for OpenOffice and Emacs. The old combinations that were reasonable on qwerty are uncomfortable in Dvorak. -Jing -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
