Speaking as a user of both Dvorak and Qwerty, switching between layouts frequently can be confusing. In particular the pain points are the places where the two layouts are similar. I haven't done this so much recently, but in the past I have often been typing away in one layout, then come to an A or an M (which happen to be in the same position in both layouts) at which point my brain would inadvertently "switch" and I would suddenly find myself typing in the wrong layout. I would expect that a localized layout with more similarity than what there is between Dvorak and Qwerty would cause even more of these types of problems. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
