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.

Wierd!
Date: 2010-12-03 09:18 am (UTC)I never look at my keyboard when I'm typing anyway, so this would just be annoying, but I'd get used to it. On our home computer which is a Mac, the " and @ are swapped from their normal UK PC places. Took some getting used to, but I don't really think about it now.
By the way, what's a cow-orker?

Someone who orks cattle. Alternatively, try shifting the hyphen one letter earlier.
