Given that WASD is a standard in gaming I'm surprised by this approach. Do many games / game engines use key position? Isn't it easier to just add key remapping so outliers can configure freely?

Yes, just allowing the keys to be remapped is simpler and would serve all users with non-standard setups, not just the handful that use alternative keyboard layouts.

I'm surprised most Dvorakers don't already tend to have a utility installed to let them remap temporarily or for an application. This must be a common occurrence?
