I use a Dvorak layout, typing h for ' and then globally replacing "h"s with "'"s. It's a kludge, but the distinguishing trait of a successful kludge is that it works, not that it's elegant. The only real difficulty I have with the Dvorak keyboard is with some of the paired vowels. Most of the time it's no problem, but I spaz more often than when typing English or C++. If you don't want to learn a whole new layout, qwerty isn't too bad, is it? You might swap the ";" and "'" keys, but I don't think I'd recommend it unless you did that with your normal English layout as well. (This assumes you normally us a US English keyboard. YMMV if not.) co'o mi'e stivn.
