QWERTY or Colemack or Dvorak?

You decide.

QWERTY. No real advantage to the other two, and every computer I come into contact with is QWERTY.

Enjoy your cramps, caveman.  Dvorak 4 lyfe.

>>3
Enjoy your shitty placement of pretty much all the characters used for programming.
Colemak is the way to go if you want to do programming.

AZERTY.

As far as I can tell from just looking at it, Colemak is just a bastardization of QWERTY or QWERTY a bastardization of Colemak. QWERTY is incredibly common, but Colemak does have the benefit of making all of its home position keys be frequently-used (English) letters; QWERTY promotes the semi-colon, on the other hand, a frequent coding symbol in many languages (but I shouldn't need to point that out).

I'm looking at Dvorak ... specific left-hand or right-hand Dvorak setups appears to be a jumble of letters.  I don't see rhyme or reason.  Two-handed Dvorak seems to want to favor having one hand to handle all consonants and the other hand handle all vowels.  I don't see the logic or need of such an alphabetic abstraction (or dexterity specialization).

I have RSI, I use Colemack. Significantly better than QWERTY, but not that much better than Dvorak. And Dvorak has crappy placement of symbols.

Vi's keybindings were designed for QWERTY. Use QWERTY.

Or, you know, don't use vi

I couldn't have put a better case against QWERTY if I'd tried, thank you

Though I have been using Linux distributions for many years, I have never enjoyed using Vi for document editing.

This is also why I use QWERTY. Also, if you get too much in the habit of using alternative layouts, using other people's computers can be hell.

I just wish that the typewriter layout had never been ported to PCs (and while I'm at it, I wish that intel had been forced to break backwards compatibility).

Use the alphabetical order layout.

QWERTY is universal, has been for over a century and a half. I doubt anything is going to truly change that.

QWERTZ bitches. heil dem führer.

TALIIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

Colemak all the way down to CTS.

If you ever need to work on someone else’s computer, you can

  * switch to the Colemak layout in a matter of seconds (if said person is using a recent version of GNU/Linux, all of which include the Colemak layout) or,

  * just switch back to QWERTY by looking at the keyboard while you type, which makes you a little slower but works OK.

I’ve been using Colemak for more than a year now, and while I can’t express on Dvorak (never used it), I can say for sure that it’s way better than QWERTY.

I use left handed Dvorak on my computers with the mouse permanently on the right hand. I am competent with the following layouts: Dvorak international, Colemak, QWERTY, Neo.

This is how most opinions on /prog/ are formed.
