The worse part is that on the "standard" Dvorak the matching brackets are on the same key. (that is, instead of [] unshifted and {} shifted... it's like [{ unshifted and ]} shifted.) That tripped me up some when I set up the Dvorak keyboard back when I was running Linux on my old computer... (the default commandline dvorak layout was different than the default xwindows dvorak layout!....) *Muke! -- http://www.frath.net/
