This is what I was looking for too. And what annoys me as well is that as a user of a secondary profile, I was in no way notified that my profile would be discontinued. There isn't even anything on the website or on my queue warning me that I'm about to lose it all. As far as I know, messages were only sent to the primary account holders.
I am mostly a programmer as well, so when I decided to try using the Dvorak keyboard layout, I decided to use it to use it in my programming -- but only for programming. This had kind of an interesting effect. I got so used to using Dvorak for programming that I occasionally stumbled back to it when trying to program with QWERTY. I could switch to a normal conversation in QWERTY no problem though. And when I tried typing in Dvorak for a normal conversation, I could do it, but not as well as I could type using Dvorak while programming. It was like I learned the Dvorak layout to type in computer languages while I stayed in QWERTY to type in English. I think this helped make switching back and forth easier, because it was dependant upon the context I was working in.
Overall, just like you will get better at typing in Dvorak by practicing, you will also get better at switching between the two layouts by practicing.
