Glad that solved it.

Yes, it would be good for others to know that the issue was resolved.

I'm curious: how do you get the Dvorak layout? Do you modify the loadedt any intervention from you? The latter would indicate that macOS is *partially* overriding the KBD file, which would be REALLY odd.

In any event, I've tried my hand at a Dvorak layout, based on xyscript-internal.kbd (see attached). Try swapping it in and let me know how it works.

Best,
