Does the Moto G (2013, 5.1) has stock Dvorak keyboard layout?

It should have: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2jk17o/google_lollipop_keyboard_has_dvorak_and_other/

If Motorola didn't save a few bucks by not including it. LOL. I just can't find it.

Ps.: I'm totally confused by the recently introduced "Ask a Question" feature and how it compares to the normal forum, which is supposed to give better results and how does it all work in real life. (My experience: I asked a few questions, not really got any answer at all, let alone a useful one)

Dvorak keyboard on stock Android (latest, 5.1) on the Moto G 2013?

It should be there, but I was unable to locate it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2jk17o/google_lollipop_keyboard_has_dvorak_and_other/

Unless Motorola skimped on the Dvorak layout in particular to save a few bucks, LOL.

Ps. I'm confused about the recently introduced 'Ask a Question' feature vs. the regular forum: where am I supposed to ask which question and where should I get more relevant results? You see from my question, I find these a little overlapping, hence, confusing. Anyways, my experience with the 'Ask a Question' feature is that I didn't really get any answer to my questions, let alone a useful one.

About the keyboard. You can change the layout to Dvorak in settings - language & input - Google keyboard - appearance & layout - customised input styles - tap on the + sign - tap on the little arrow besides QWERTY - select Dvorak.

Sorry, where?



I have the European version, the menus might be a different from your description and I really can't find any Dvorak here.

Strange. Have you tried tapping on Android keyboard? This is what I get.

I've checked those settings in three different Moto devices and they are the same, G 2013, X Play and G 2015. If you can't manage to change the layout to Dvorak you could try with Fleksy or SwiftKey.

OK, I was digging deeper in the menu and here's what I got:



On the contrary to yours, I had to manually add Dvorak, but now it's there!

Now I just have no friggin' idea - in my menus - how to actually activate it. sorry for flaming but why it just can't be so straightforward than on iOS? Where I can find all it out myself, don't have to dig deep into obscured forums.

When the keyboard is displayed, long-press the space bar. You should see a menu pop up for that allows you to switch to Dvorak (or QWERTZ).
