I grew up in a Spanish-speaking country, reading computer magazines in Spanish, and at the time Spain was hugely into ZX Spectrum videogames. I feel like OPQA rolls off the tongue easier than QAOP when you say it in Spanish, so maybe that's all there is to it?

I know it as QAOP, and it feels strange to see it written as OPQA.
Also, HJKL for all you vim users out there.

As you may have guessed from some of my postings here, I'm an ESDX man (grew up with a TI-99/4A).
