ADMIN NOTE
Sorry for not doing a better job specifying our initial goals for this thread up front.
Folks are 100% correct that there are a few different tasks we’ve conflated here. While we want your help to figure out the correct “logical” layout for the Model 01’s Dvorak layout, the thing we really, really, really need your help to figure out is the key legends that we’ll engrave onto our ‘standard’ Dvorak keycaps. The two go hand-in-hand, but the interesting features of the logical layout are something that will be much easier to change and customize later.
Ideally, the legends should be a relatively conservative default that most Dvorak typists can live with.
Based on typing on the prototypes for the last couple years, I have some fairly strong feelings about the layout (especially around metakeys), but I’d like to see what y’all come up with, so I’m going to keep my mouth shut for now.
