Re:Dvorak vs Colemak (2010-2020) by TimSchumann on Tuesday April 13, 2021 @04:42PM (#26798989)
Just wanted to chime in. Same experience here. Switched to Dvorak over 20 years ago and I had almost the exact same experience.

It's just like knowing a different language, there's some switch somewhere in my brain I can flip and type in either layout. If I use one for a long period of time, the other one gets slower and less easily recalled, but it takes on the order of minutes to come back to 90% speed.

Agree that the main annoyances are hotkeys and what layer of the software you're mapping things in.
