What do you mean by keyboard shortcuts.  Can you give an example?

I know for emacs, doing ctrl-x ctrl-s and ctrl-x ctrl-c is really awkword in
dvorak, so I've remaped ctrl-x to ctrl-o, ctrl-s to ctrl-e, and ctrl-c to
ctrl-u.  This way I can save and quit much easier.  This is done by placing
the following in my .emacs file:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-o") ctl-x-map)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-e") (lookup-key global-map (kbd "C-x C-s")))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-u") (lookup-key global-map (kbd "C-x C-c")))

You're probably looking for something much more general, but if you use
emacs, this quick fix will save a lot of finger-pain.

Type faster.  Use Dvorak:
