The modern Dvorak layout (U.S.) Dvorak / ˈ d v ɔːr æ k / ⓘ [1] is a keyboard layout for English patented in 1936 by August Dvorak and his brother-in-law, William Dealey, as a faster and more ergonomic alternative to the QWERTY layout (the de facto standard keyboard layout).
The idea is to only use one hand (preferably the left one) and type the right-hand letters by holding a key which acts as a modifier key.The layout is mirrored, so the use of the muscle memory of the other hand is possible, which greatly reduces the amount of time needed to learn the layout, if the person previously used both hands to type.
