The placement of these and other special characters is also very well
done on the Dvorak keyboard layout :)

I recently switched from the Swiss German layout to US Dvorak - it is
cool that even the English version of Dvorak is way better than QWERTZ
for German texts. Now I feel comfortable again with Dvorak. The umlauts
are no problem because there are combining characters for �, �, `, � and �.

If you're interested, have a look at the nice site:
