That's why Dvorak has all the vowels on the left half of the keyboard;
LACE: R L R L
LASH: R L R R
LASH has all letters but the L on the home row, and the SH is just a
right hard "roll" movement, so it's still easy to type.

Exactly. Painful. And that very rarely happens with Dvorak, at least
not with english or swedish words.
It is a royal PITA to type on a Dvorak layout with one hand,
though...! *hehe* Though there is one-hand Dvorak of course, and the
usual "mirror" hack.

I have lots of things to do, but that doesn't seem to help...
