The Dvorak and Qwerty layouts were created with the recognition that
the lower row is more difficult to reach, so less common letters are
placed there. Dvorak placed letters to alternate the most common
bigraphs between left and right hands. Qwerty has the same feature to
some extent to limit the print bar jamming of the early typewriters.
By simply transposing the letters dfjk with etni, changeing qwerty to
qwdrfy, the amount of average text typed from the new home row keys
would rise to 37.5%, from the 7.5% at present. This would reduce
overall finger reaching by 40%.
Best of all it keeps the letters under the same fingers for easy
learning.
Why not try it out for yourself, there is nothing to lose but a few
minutes of time.
