Dvorak keyboard layout for the Catalan language

Following Dvorak’s keyboard’s layout philosophy, here you can an implementation for the Catalan language. It’s been my keyboard layout since 2009 and I am very pleased with it.

In this repository you can find files to use Catalan Dvorak on Debian-ish operating sistems.
