RE: Twiddler beginner wonders...

Thanks for the insight from an experienced Twiddler.  I don't understand
your reference to setxkbmap.  What is it and why do you have to run it
to use the default?

I use the standard keymap, although that means I have to remember to
setxkbmap us instead of my default Dvorak. I used to painstakingly remap
all the Twiddler keys to Dvorak equivalents so that I could use a
Twiddler with software-mapped Dvorak, but I figured it wasn't really
worth the bother.

Twiddler tip: I've bound RRRR to a function key (F9, I think), and I use
that as a prefix key for a number of helpful commands. F9 c will bring
up a quick chord reference that helps me type all those funky
non-alphanumeric characters, for one.
