Came up with this late at night. Not while being anywhere near a laptop though.

I used to think this way as I've been able to touch type for a very long time but in total darkness it's very nice to be able to find a key/orient things.
I touch type too, but I’ll be damned if I can find the right F key without looking
Where should the right F key be? Mine only has a left F.
Get out!
It’s found in the top middle right on Dvorak
Your keyboard should have two nubbins on it so you can easily find the F key without looking (it puts your hands in the home row). If your keyboard doesn't have these, then either it's 100 years old and someone is typing with the force of a gorilla, or you have an extremely strange keyboard.
The real tricky part are the less used symbol keys.
I think he is talking about function key, F1 to f12 ;)
Lol I'm dumb
Happens to the best ^^
Yeah I dunno. They’re split in groups of four, but even when I think I’ve got it under control somehow F4 and F8 are the same. And yes. Gotta be careful not to hit enter when you mean to hit backslash.
It is nice for the less used keys. For orientation there is this thing in the middle of some keyboards.
Lighting is also helpful in finding the keyboard.
You probably shouldn't be on the computer in total darkness
My eyes hurt just thinking about it.
total darkness isn't so good tho.
dim indirect light from behind the screen is best IMO and that's also enough to find that rare key, as well as your drink without knocking it over and causing havoc.
