Hi, I’ve been wanting to see the Pull Request to add Dvorak keyboard layout merged. I would really like to not have to change my keyboard layout everytime I use OnlyKey. There doesn’t seem to be any update on the [firmware repository](https://github.com/trustcrypto/OnlyKey-Firmware/releases) on Github for a long time and Pull Requests haven’t been reviewed for long. When can I realistically expect the next firmware update (with or without Dvorak)? Are there milestones for different releases or is there a set release schedule for subsequent firmware versions? ---

@et7 There are not current plans to include Dvorak keyboard layout. There were issues when we tested the PR. If someone from the community that uses Dvorak could provide a correct mapping of the key codes and provide a working PR we could look into adding this to future release. Current PR is here - [https://github.com/trustcrypto/OnlyKey-Firmware/pull/96](https://github.com/trustcrypto/OnlyKey-Firmware/pull/96) ---

We are including experimental support for Dvorak US keyboard layout in next release ---

Thanks, @t11 when can we expect the release? This month? This year? This change will definitely make my OnlyKey more usable. ---

Thank you for implementing Dvorak layout. However, the keyboard layout selection do not persist. Whatever I select, once I plug the device out and back in, US International is selected. Am I doing this wrong? ---

@et7 What do you mean that your selection does not persist? ---

Ah it looks like the Dvorak in the OnlyKey app does not work. I have updated the documentation. In order to use the Dvorak keyboard layout you will need to set this using the OnlyKey CLI as shown here - [https://docs.crp.to/command-line.html#keylayout](https://docs.crp.to/command-line.html#keylayout) So you would install the OnlyKey CLI on Linux/Mac and then run this command: $ onlykey-cli keylayout 28 ---

This worked, Thanks! 🙂
