            Bug ID: 15641
           Summary: Keybinding setting uses a different layout from
                    keybind usage.
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfce4-settings
           Version: 4.13.4
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Keyboard Settings
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: acey at eerie.garden
  Target Milestone: Xfce 4.14

If you're setting a keybinding, creating it will use the currently *set* 
keyboard layout. If you *use* the same keybinding, it will use the primary
keyboard layout. For example, I have qwerty as my primary layout, and dvorak as
secondary. I switched to dvorak, set a keybind using ctrl+alt+t (in dvorak, the
qwerty equivalent would be ctrl+alt+k), then proceeded to be horridly confused
why ctrl+alt+t didn't do anything before realizing what happened.

I think the best way to handle this is that both setting and using keybinds
should use the primary keyboard layout? With perhaps an informative note about
this on the settings popup when actually setting the keybind.
