Ah, a keyboard DSW. `Whose has the most keys' :)

I'll soon have a keyboard that supports Dvorak, and I'm getting the
dual-legended version so I can learn the layout.

I dunno about that; Emacs's bindings were chosen mainly for mnemonic
effect, rather than typeability...

I may well rebind major key sequences like C-x and C-c in Dvorak mode.

But, no, I haven't remapped them all. Only about fifty. :)

(See the `key-translation-alist' and `gawd-key-bind-alist' in
