Title: Mac OS X only: Added new keylayout that's a Workman equivalent of Mac OS X's built-in "Dvorak - Qwerty ⌘" layout

In Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.x) the ability to use Qwerty style keyboard shortcuts, with a Dvorak keyboard layout, makes it easier for beginners.

Why this change?
The correct memory recall of a keyboard shortcuts seems to be based off muscle memory. Even after I've "programmed" myself with new muscle memory for the Workman layout, I'm noticing that my muscle memory for keyboard shortcuts is independent. (

Example: Although I have a new muscle memory for where the "t" is located on the keyboard, my muscle memory for the shortcut "cmd+t" remains fixed on the qwerty-style layout.
