Easy way to switch to Dvorak hotkeys

While there is a script that can do this, I think that this should be included. Under the keymap tab in user preferences, there should be a button that remaps all of the keys for Dvorak. If it is possible, I think that it should automatically detect what keyboard layout you're using (as I switch between QWERTY and DVORAK frequently) and switch. But at the very least, there should be the option to switch to Dvorak, Colmak, Workman, etc. I think it would be a quick and easy implementation and would make my life so much easier.

Is that keyboard easier than qwerty

* @mrajendra2150 * Sorry for the late reply but I use Dvorak because I find it more comfortable and it allows me to type faster. It's really just down to personal preference. It's really hard to unlearn it, and since I prefer it to qwerty, I think a simple feature add like this one would be of great importance to me.

* @robbieleegwald * Good idea, i also think the old qwerty which was designed for typewriter should be changed and this will be a good start if such thing implemented in programs like blender that is used by many artist...

* @robbieleegwald * I don't know if it's simple, given the fact that just using azerty is already giving quite some issues whenever there's a key mismatch with qwerty. Being compatible with multiple keyboard layouts seems to be a common nightmare in any software.

* @-L0Lock- * Is there any windows app available to swap the key in case the user wants to ??
