What's the meaning?

of to come across here?

"Do you have a hard time using both? Or are you just one of those people that
think they're never going to come across a QWERTY keyboard for the rest of their
life?"

Thanks a million!

I guess she used the wrong words here. I don't really know what she's talking about 'cause I've used Qwerty before and now I'm using Dvorak. I found Qwerty not so good so I switched.

Not the wrong words, I think, Jin. She is just using hyperbole in commenting that she thinks it might be difficult to switch back and forth between the two formats.

And thank you for 'Dvorak' - I have been wondering what the alternative to Qwerty might be. Are Dvorak keyboards easily available?

I'm not quite sure though. I use a laptop and I just change the layout settings on my computer to Dvorak. I think it's good though 'cause it helped me when I practise touch-typing.
