[9fans] Dvorak on Plan9; Plan9/Acme for Unix

[Ulrich Hobelmann]

I just started toying around with Plan9. Some questions:

Are there ways to switch my keyboard layout, to Dvorak? If not,
what file would I have to edit in what way to get a new layout?

Are there Acme or even total Plan9 clones for Unix (in particular
Mac OS X, but X11 windowing would be fine)? I know there's Wily,
but I can't get it to compile, and the website seems kindof
old/unmaintained. Are there other, still alive versions of some
Acme for Unix, or of a library that emulates the Plan9 interface?

oh, forgot: see /sys/lib/kbmap for available keyboard maps, kbmap(1)
and kbmap(3) should also help.

i don't see a dvorak kbmap among the ones there, perhaps you can send
it to us if you write one? :)

i wrote kbmap files for Dvorak keyboard layout.

i think Dvorak one-handed layout matches to mouse operation.
but i cannot use that layout, so difficult to me :(
