Hello Allan &amp; other TM friends,<br><br>I&#39;m one of the disturbed folks who tries to make life difficult for myself and those around me by using the Dvorak-Qwerty layout. Apple was kind enough to create this monster, but not kind enough to provide the adequate means for developers to fully support it in their apps[1].
<br><br>Is there anything in the works to handle the DQ layout properly in TM2? I&#39;m debating a switch to a pure Dvorak[2] layout and since TM is the app I type into for hours daily it has the largest influence on my decision. I know it&#39;s foolish to think that maybe Leopard will include some new key handling abilities just for us DQ guys, but I&#39;m clinging to a shred of hope.
<br><br>The only reason I&#39;m bringing this up is that every now and then a new bundle shortcut will catch me by surprise, ie. Cmd-Opt-/&nbsp; (which is Cmd-Opt-[ in DQ) for commenting blocks overwrote the shortcut for re-indenting a block or line. Cmd-/ works as it should, but for some reason Cmd-Opt-/ uses the Dvorak / instead of the Qwerty /. Some default shortcuts don&#39;t work at all (show scope). It&#39;s not that big of a deal and I accept that this is the price I pay for choosing an obscure layout. However, my dislike of surprises while coding[3] outweighs the benefits of using DQ in the first place; hence this message.

<br>[3] I know, I know. Why the hell do I use the cutting edge build of TM if I don&#39;t want surprises? ;-)<br><br>-- <br>Sami Samhuri<br><a href="http://sami.samhuri.net">http://sami.samhuri.net</a><br><br>
