When I had my Macintosh remapped to Dvorak (even replaced the keycaps!)
I left the command-keys in the same qwerty locations (you can do that)
because the keystrokes for cut, copy, and paste are more "muscle memory"
than cognition.

: How does the dvorak go when using editers like vi?  ie. movement keys.
: Having never seen a dvorak, could someone post the key layout?

I'd rebind vi's keys to use the home row for movement, for the same
reasons above.

(Since this isn't a really ascii-art thread, could we try to move it 
somewhere else?)
