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.
