I think for dvorak users a good tip is remapping C-t to C-x
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defmacro wiki/bind-dvorak-helper (key fn) 
                    `(global-set-key (kbd ,key) ,(if (listp fn) fn `',fn)))
(wiki/bind-dvorak-helper "C-t" (lookup-key global-map (kbd "C-x")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

After doing above You would need to be careful when on dired. (C-t).

Also map C-c C-m as execute-extended-command
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-m") 'execute-extended-command)
(global-set-key (kbd "\C-c\C-m") 'execute-extended-command) ; {from effective 
emacs}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
