[Elecraft] Is the K2-keyer similar to most other Iambic keyers?

Is there a standard setup for the paddles with a keyer? I've just
finished building a KX1 and I have a K2 and with both of these the keyer
is set up to send dahs with the left paddle and dits with the right
paddle. Yet if the bug was the precursor of the present day keyer it
seems that the reverse should be the default or normal setting. Anybody
help me with this?

Actually, the timing is very, very consistent from keyer to keyer. The
biggest difference is in choosing whether you want to use Mode A or Mode
B keying.
Some folks can switch from one mode to another easily, others have a
very hard time. So you might want to consider which mode you plan to
use.
There's a good discussion of the modes at:

I'm sure there are timing differences in all of them, but I'm about to
(finally, after 27 years of hamming) going to learn how to use paddle.
Maybe even the darn Bencher paddles my parents gave me for Christmas.
Christmas of 1979, I think.
I suppose I could carry the K2 and a small power supply around with me,
but I thought maybe just a small keyer would be easier for practice.
