Dvorak keyboard layout with UK punctuation

I have recently been typing using the Dvorak keyboard layout with great success

The original dvorak design included positions for common punctuation, but not symbols like @ that we have on a modern computer keyboard. The standard Dvorak layout provided by both Windows and XFree86 have these other punctuation keys in the same position as a standard US keyboard. That was counterproductive for me, so I moved them back to standard UK positions.

To install the option to use my UK Dvorak layout on xorg or XFree86, download this file and follow the instructions contained within. This patch is included in the xorg distribution as of version X11R7.5, which now available in Ubuntu version 8.10!

Next use the Keyboard Layout section of KDE's Control Center to add the small button to the task bar for changing between Dvorak and QWERTY.

For Windows (Windows 2000 or XP), download this tool from Microsoft, and use this ukdvk3.klc layout description file. Unhelpfully, Windows will abbreviate the name of both layouts to "EN" for display in its task bar layout chooser button. Right-click to get a menu that shows the full name.
