lethargic_manFollowing the suggestion of a cow-orker, I have levered the I and O keys off my keyboard and replaced them in the wrong order; also the V and B keys.
The result is quite interesting: When I'm looking away from the keyboard, of course, I can type fine; but when I look at the keys to type (as distinct from touch typing whilst looking at the keys), no matter how well I know where the keys should live, I keep either typing the wrong ones, or at best stopping myself halfway to correcting myself.

Date: 2010-12-02 08:05 pm (UTC)I had an AZERTY keyboard on my last laptop but had the language set as English rather than French; mostly I just didn't look at the keys but when I got used to it anyway I just knew to press Z for W and , for M, etc. If you keep it like that long enough that sort of thing will probably happen to you, too. It was quite fun in that it meant no one else could type properly on my laptop.
