To hopefully reduce  the pain of typing, I'm  thinking about switching
to a  DVORAK keyboard. I'm looking  into somehow making  this keyboard
available on the  command line for the variety of  terminals I work at
(e.g. VT100, xterm) while using zsh.

Anybody have any experience with this? Does it make the vi keybindings
awkward?

Thanks.

While someone brought up dovrak, can the zsh-option CORRECT be told to
be smart a dvorak keyobard? How is correct written? I notice that with
correct set:
	given		auto-correct suggests
	-----		---------------------
	dr			dt
	dj			du
	dw		command not found

Not at the moment.  It would be easy to tell it a different layout by
modifying the source (have a look at spdist() in utils.c).  Perhaps this
should become a special parameter, to allow for AZERTY and other odd
layouts.  This is the only part of zsh that actually needs to know the
keyboard layout.

As for using vi keybindings, looking at the Dvorak layout it seems that
the hjkl movement keys become exceptionally awkward, but I can't imagine
anything else being a problem.
