Vim - Dvorak Keyboard Setup

Some people prefer the "Dvorak keyboard (layout)". It is quite easy to remap the keys to achieve this by sourcing a file with appropriate mappings. However, you should have a look at the map sets created by Joshua Rodman:

I do not have a Dvorak keyboard, so I cannot really test them. But Joshua claims that he can use these setup files just fine. Check them out!

Switch from QWERTY to Dvorak:
:source keyboard.qwerty2dvorak

Switch from Dvorak to QWERTY:
:source keyboard.dvorak2qwerty

Feedback, please!

I would like to link to a webpage of someone using these setup files - is anyone using them yet? Please send me a mail!
