The Norwegian keyboard layout defaults to Dvorak, which I suspect isn't the most common one

Sorry, our mistake. Several focus groups with Norwegians, left us assuming they thought in dvorak.

Will revert to qwerty.

Just to clarify, you were told that Dvorak was the dominant layout in Norway?

I'm curious because I (an American) have been using Dvorak for longer than I'd ever used qwerty, so I would find this pretty interesting.

I suspect bbarnett is joking.

Dvorak being the default layout was a problem because it was completely hidden due to the low screen resolution.
