DvorakCodec

This is a Swift package that converts text from the QWERTY keyboard layout to Dvorak or Colemak keyboard layout and vice versa.

Installation

Note that Swift 5.9 or later is required.

You can add the DvorakCodec package to your project using Swift Package Manager. To do this, add the following line to your Package.swift file:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/aoenth/DvorakCodec.git", from: "1.0.0")
]

Then, add DvorakCodec as a dependency for your target:

.target(
    name: "YourProject",
    dependencies: [
        "DvorakCodec"
    ]
)

Alternatively, you can build the CLI and move it into a location in your PATH.

$ swift build -c release --product dv
$ mv .build/release/dv /usr/local/bin

Usage

As a Library

Here's an example of how to use the DvorakCodec in your Swift code.

You can use the dvorakEncoded function to convert text from QWERTY to Dvorak:

import DvorakCodec

let text = "Hello, world!"
let encodedText = text.dvorakEncoded()
print(encodedText)  // Output: "D.nnrw ,rpne!"

and the dvorakDecoded function to convert text from Dvorak to QWERTY:

import DvorakCodec

let text = "D.nnrw ,rpne!"
let decodedText = text.dvorakDecoded()
print(decodedText)  // Output: "Hello, world!"

Similarily, colemakEncoded and colemakDecoded are for the Colemak keyboard layout.

As a CLI tool

After installation, you can execute dv in the CLI. It takes in standard input and writes to standard output by default.

$ echo "hello" | dv
d.nnr

If you have multiple lines:

$ dv <<EOF

You can also transform content of your clipboard with the "-t" flag, "t" for "transform".

$ echo Hello! | pbcopy # Put some strings into your pasteboard on Mac
$ dv -t                # Transform pasteboard content
$ pbpaste              # Paste pasteboard content in terminal
D.nnr!

Adding the -d flag to decode from Dvorak encoding:

$ echo D.nnr! | dv -d
Hello!

Adding the -c flag to indicate Colemak coding.

$ echo Hfiiy! | dv -dc
Hello!
