You're right, C-g is actually pretty convenient for Dvorak, I move it 
because
it conflicts with other bindings I've chosen.

I have C-h/t/n/s as backward-char, previous-line, next-line and forward 
char.
Then, M-h/t/n/s are backward-word, backward-paragraph, 
forward-paragraph, and
forward-word. M-H/T/N/S continue this pattern, and C-M-h/t/n/s move between
windows.

Going up one row, the commands are the same except killing instead of 
movement
so C-g/c/r/l are backward-delete-char, kill-previous-line, 
kill-next-line and
delete-forward-char.
