dvorak — the full keyboard

Reach to the top and bottom rows; common words across the layout.

The marked keys are exactly what the reach drill asks for: p y f g c r l on the top row, k m w v z on the bottom. The row between them is the resting row you came from — every reach is one key out and one key back, never a wander. Dvorak loads the top row with the working consonants p y f g c r l and pushes the rarest letters — q j k x z among them — down to the bottom, where reaching costs the most.
