I've used dvorak and now workman and I don't mind the shortcuts moving around.

The biggest annoyance for me is if you want to sometimes use hardware-level dvorak or another layout (which expects software-level qwerty) and sometimes use it in software. Like, if your keyboard runs QMK but you use it with a laptop and might want to use the laptop's built-in keyboard if you take it on the go.

GTK also has some weird issues if you have multiple layouts enabled where the shortcuts are in the wrong place and don't all work (happens in Dino and Gedit). So, I now have only qwerty enabled in Sway and I'll just edit the config if I ever need to change virtual layouts instead of doing it with a couple keypresses.

Does windows a way to simultaneously use different layouts for different connected devices? It's really annoying shifting between my Japanese USB keyboard and English laptop. In Ubuntu I had startup script to detect input devices IDs by name and force different layouts, but even that was a bit of a hack.

Judging by the comments here, looks like we’re globally a rare breed that want absolute priority for keytop labeling over software configuration items.
