I use Workman.

EDIT (2024-08-10T19:23Z): I should clarify that I am referring to the layout that you use for a physical computer keyboard, not a mobile/virtual keyboard.

    Dvorak with some custom bindings for German diacritics and the Euro symbol, e.g. AltGr+a gives me ä.

    Furthermore, my layout behaves like QWERTY when I told down Ctrl, so that shortcuts like Ctrl+C are still easy to press.

    Switching to Dvorak immediately removed any pain I had started experiencing more and more often typing with QWERTY. In the long run it also improved my typing speed. I can usually achieve between 130 and 140.

      Nice there is a great keyboard layout creator for windows.

      If you use linux do you mind sharing your custom layout and how you did it?

        On Windows it’s pretty easy. On Linux I found some shady kernel monkey patch for the Ctrl feature, but I don’t remember where.

    I live in a qwertz ISO layout country, but I use qwerty ANSI layout keyboards because I find that text editing is better with them. Makes finding a laptop pretty hard though.

      If you have the layout memorized, then what’s physically shown on the keys doesn’t really matter ­— usually switching the keyboard layout in the OS is pretty easy.

    My own custom layout that tries to find a compromise between not fucking too much with the left side keys because of hotkeys, typing en and my mother tongue, and programming.

    Also use 28 keys split keyboard, so some macros for some keys.
