Dvorak typers, how do you handle shortcuts like Ctrl-C?

Question

• Do you change the key binding in the OS to be, i.e., Ctrl-Q?

• Do you manage to stretch your left hand to the C key?

• Do you use right ctrl and press shortcuts with your right hand?

Answer 1

When I switched to Dvorak, I was using primarily Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins for copy/paste. Now I use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V and other program-specific shortcuts, but I have just learned to use them in their "weird" locations.

A similar question was asked on SuperUser, with the following answers:

• Use an AutoHotKey script to remap the keys. (Link)
• Use Microsoft Keyboard Creator to remap them. (Link)
• Install a third-party app that will remap them automatically. (Link, Link)
