Using dvorak layout with voiceover

Hi there,

For those of you that have Ios 16, it seems you can now write in the dvorak keyboard layout. So being the nerd that I am, I switched the keyboard over to try and teach myself the thing. ... The results were mixed, this is being typed in qwerty but I have a question.

I noticed with some intrigue that the commands for voiceover did not switch over to using the Dvorak layout. I still had to use qwerty commands to activate things like, home, help, etc. I'm wondering if it's possible to remap voiceover keys to use a dvorak layout on an external keyboard, or would this be an extremely difficult and time consuming task that might be spent on more worthy pursuits like ... oh I don't know, wondering just exactly how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, or if a pop tart is a calzone ... and so on and so forth.

Anyway, I just thought I'd throw this one out there for the far more enlightened who know how these things work behind the scenes, so to speak.

Take care, all, thanks for reading,
Dave
