Kakoune for non-qwerty layouts?

Thank you all for your answers! To conclude, I decided to use kakoune mostly without remapping because semantic meaning can be useful to learn as pointed out (though often there is no apparent semantic meaning like <a-;>, o, <a-o>, …).

To do that: I create a file with Dvorak-specific bindings at ~/.config/kak/keymaps/dvorak.kak, consisting of only map commands: set-optio…
