Had seen a question like this in another sub, thought about asking it in lemmy too.

I haven't had much of a problem switching back and forth between QWERTY and Dvorak between work and personal usage. I feel like you would have to be using Dvorak exclusively for a long time to experience that kind of problem.

For me, it seems kind of like learning to ride a bike in that just because I have learned another thing has not meant I forgot how to walk.

I thought about learning Dvorak, but at this stage my fingers just do what I'm thinking, I'm not sure I can unlearn Qwerty.

I touch typed with qwerty for over 20 years before learning it, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. It's just a matter of consistent practice.

Yea these people have been all Dvorak for years, so switching back is difficult.

I see, that makes sense. To try to avoid that, I have a hotkey configured that remaps my keyboards between the two layouts so that I can maintain a sense of both.
