Dvorak-Qwerty Keyborad Layout

[Thomas Berger]

Hi,

I'm using the US Dvorak keyboard layout with X.Org X Server 1.9.0. The
problem I have is that control-key and alt-key keys are also mapped, so that
ctrl-c becomes ctrl-i, etc. Is there a way to have the Dvorak keyboard
layout, but if one presses control or alt it uses the Qwerty keyboard
layout? This layout is available by default on Mac OSX. The reasons for such
a layout is that the common copy/paste hotkeys X, C, and V remain on the
left hand, and so can be used while the right hand is on the mouse.

Regarding this issue I found the following workarounds, which did not work
as expected:

Can such a Dvorak-Qwerty layout be implement/configured in xorg?

Regards,

Thomas
