I'm using Left-Hand Dvorak, which isn't similar to regular Dvorak, but is a
non-QWERTY layout [2]. You can see it at http://24.94.123.65:81/dvorak.jpg .
"`", "Y", "U", and "\" are unchanged [1], so I wrote /export/bin/y (to set
up the kb for LHDvorak, and /export/bin/u (to set up the kb for QWERTY).
They detect whether we're in X or not by the presence of $DISPLAY (not
foolproof, but hasn't guessed wrong yet). If you want them I can mail them
to you.
[1] \ and ` should be swapped, but the keys are different sizes
[2] I rearranged the key caps, which has the nice side effect of encouraging
others to borrow some other machine. That first login is blind, though, as
logically it's QWERTY, but physically it's not.
