Vim - Dvorak Keyboard Setup

Some people prefer the "Dvorak keyboard (layout)". It is quite easy to remap the keys to achieve this by sourcing a file with appropriate mappings. However, you should have a look at the map sets created by Joshua Rodman:

    I do not have a Dvorak keyboard, so I cannot really test them. But Joshua claims that he can use these setup files just fine. Check them out!

    Switch from QWERTY to Dvorak:
    :source keyboard.qwerty2dvorak

    Switch from Dvorak to QWERTY:
    :source keyboard.dvorak2qwerty

    I would like to link to a webpage of someone using these setup files - is anyone using them yet? Please send me a mail!

    Feedback so far from these people:
