# These keys make (a bit of) sense when you look at a dvorak keyboard:
# use the home row, and those keys than aren’t bound to other
# functions (i.e. u'a' to ‘add’, u'o' to ‘options’, u'e' to ‘edit’ and
# u's' to ‘Overview’) .  Also use the top rows (for either the left or
# right hand.
eases_dict = {
    # Home row, both hands, use what is free:
    # (I could say that the left hand is the failure and the three on
    # the left hand are the good answers.)

    # top letter row, left hand, left to right
    u"'": 1, u',': 2, u'.': 3, u'p': 4,
    # Bottom row.

    # When you use programmer Dvorak you actually use the 1 from the
    # "wrong" block.
    #
    ## top row, right hand, right to left (two for the pinkie, so you
    ## don’t have to aim too hard.)
    # Don’t use this row:  ‘r’ is replay audio.

## Example for QWERTY: use the keys from one nubbin to the other:
## (I can’t find really good sets of four keys that aren’t already
## used for other uses.)
