Fedora :: Keyboard (Qwerty) Layouts And Dvorak
Jul 11, 2009I have a keyboard with a hardcoded dvorak layout. It makes things easy (I don't have to set a keyboard layout), but I'm considering switching to programmer dvorak because of the amount of programming which I do. My question is this: If I set the keyboard layout in the OS to programmer dvorak, will it cause problems with my native dvorak keyboard? In other words, do the keyboard layouts in the OS assume that the original keyboard layout is qwerty and then shift keys around accordingly?

Jul 24, 2010I recently decided to try out the Dvorak layout, and manually rearranged my keys today. For those who do not know:
Dvorak is a keyboard layout designed in the 1930's that is designed for comfort and speed. It is reported as being easier to learn than Qwerty, and more comfortable as well. Keep in mind that you can still type in Qwerty after you manually change your keyboard to Dvorak.
First, for those who want a Dvorak keyboard, you don't! You can rearrange the keys on your existing keyboard like I did. To do so, insert the dull end of a fingernail clipper (or other long, thing object) into the area between two keys on your keyboard. Be sure to unplug your keyboard first, or you might end up typing ksiwmvosioiwjefoakjsdfj;ls.xoqw, or worse, triggering a system shortcut.
Be sure to look at a picture of the current Dvorak layout first. Once you have removed the necessary keys, line up the male end of a key with the female end of the location it needs to be. Press down hard! You tap the key in its new location a few times before you proceed. Some of the keys on my keyboard were different. On my keyboard, the F and J keys and their slots were different than the rest of the keyboard. These keys sunk when pressed. To avoid this, I put these keys in upside down, as you can see in the first example.
Once you have placed all of the keys, plug your keyboard back in. Type something. You'll notice that everything is completely normal, except your keyboard looks like the something from Carmen Sandiego: Word Detective. In order to type in Dvorak, you will need to add the Dvorak keyboard layout. Doing so is simple. Go to System>Preferences>Keyboard. Go to the layout tab, and click "Add...".
If you are limited on screen space, or don't want to spend a century scrolling down to the bottom of the list, go to the "By language" tab, select English as the Language, and select USA Dvorak as the layout. If you want, you can disable "Separate layout for each window". Now, click on USA Dvorak and click "Options...". You will want to change Alt/Win behavior to "Meta is mapped to Win keys". Also disable anything under "Key(s) to change layout".
Now, click on "USA" in the notification area and notice that it says "USA2". You should now be able to type in Dvorak. Try typing something! Be amazed at how slow you are. Next, try out a keyboard shortcut. If you have Compiz, some of your shortcuts might not work. For those shortcuts that don't apply to Compiz, try rebinding them in Keyboard Shortcuts. To fix Compiz using Qwerty for shortcuts, press alt F2 and run this command:
Code:
compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints
Also, you should change the layout on your login screen next time you login. Don't want to type ekrpat, now do we? Unfortunately, after finishing righting this, I discovered Colemak...

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Enable Re-attached Mouse/keyboard Via Ssh?
May 19, 2010I had 9.10 x64 Desktop installed on a nettop I have (that I normally run headless), and yesterday I decided to take the plunge and update to 10.04. So, I plugged in a screen and usb mouse/keyboard and set to work.
It was 1am, and it was telling me it had 3hrs left to install all the new packages, so I unplugged the screen and usb mouse/keyboard, left the box running, and went to bed. This evening, I plugged it all back in again to check progress. It's asking if I want to remove obsolete packages. I do, but neither the mouse nor keyboard work!
I can access the box via SSH like I normally do; is there any way I can re-enable the keyboard from there?
I'm reluctant to restart the box (via ssh) mid-way through such a complicated upgrade.

Hardware :: Enable Special Keys On Keyboard For KDE 4.xx ?
Aug 28, 2010I am running Arch Linux with KDE 4.5. I have a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 v2.0
At the top of the keyboard are 5 extra buttons numbered 1 to 5. These are in addition to the function keys.
I ran xev to determine the keycodes generated by these buttons and nothing results. The keys do nothing in xev. How can I enable these keys to use for desktop switching?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Enable Keyboard Accelerator Underlining By Default?
Sep 6, 2010I just upgraded from Jaunty Jackalope to Lucid Lynx.
I prefer to have the Keyboard Accelerators underlined at all times.
That is, I don't want them hidden until I press Alt.
Keyboard accelerators aren't accelerating my work if I have to wait a second or two to read what the underlined letter is after I press the Alt key.
On Windows there's a setting for this (Control Panel, Display, Appearance, Effects, Hide Underlined letters).
Where can I set this in Ubuntu?
I read that setting gtk-enable-mnemonics=1 in a ~/.gtkrc or ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file should do it. I tried that. Doesn't work.
I read that Ubuntu Tweak has a setting for it. I installed Ubuntu Tweak. I couldn't find the setting.
General :: Dvorak In X On Slackware 13.37?
May 3, 2011I've already hunted through the forums for an answer, but as far as I can see, what I've done should work. It certainly worked on Slack 13.0, but I'm running 13.37 now. I'm trying to change my keyboard layout to Dvorak for fluxbox. Here's what I've done:
Code:
su -c "cp -iv /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/"
su -c "vi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi"
I changed
Code:
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" />
to
Code:
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">dvorak</merge>
Then:
Code:
su -c "/etc/rc.d/rc.hald restart"
But flux is still typing QWERTY.
OpenSUSE Install :: 11.2 Won't Load The Dvorak

Software :: Fluxbox Is Not Playing Well With Dvorak?
Dec 10, 2010I use a dvorak layout, but fluxbox refuses to acknowledge my settings. I can only set dvorak layout by either painstakingly typing it out in the terminal with qwerty or opening KDE settings. Neither of which is much of an option. The first is too annoying and opening KDE settings kind of kills the point of using fluxbox in the first place.
Other things I've tried:
I put Option XkbLayout "us"/XkbVariant "dvorak" in xorg.conf --> It's completely ignored. I put setxkbmap blah blah in .xinitrc, .fluxbox/startup and again it's completely ignored.

Fedora :: Fedora 11+KDE - Login Screen Not Responding To Keyboard And Mouse After Update?
Nov 10, 2009It's two days now I'm in deep troubles after my last "yum update". The system boots as usual, the graphical login pops up the normal way but no input is handled by either the internal keyboard (the system is a laptop), the mouse pad, the external USB mouse and keyboard.
The hardware itself seems to be working as I can pop up the BIOS menus and even edit the GRUB booting line. But, after GRUB there's no possible input. I've tried to boot the system with the Fedora 11 DVD, rescue menu and then chroot. This in order to run a "yum update" in the hope that the problem was in some broken update. No chance: there's no update.
My questions are:
1. Is there a way to boot Fedora withou any graphical interface from GRUB (or anything else to skip the KDE)?
2. Is there a way to have the (cabled) network activated at boot *before* the graphical login?
3. What the he** is happening to my otherwise pefectly working laptop?
