I don't use the qwerty layout, I use colemak. Likely this mitigates this for myself.

This is just security through obscurity. For real security, you need a cryptographically rolling keyboard layout.

Brilliant suggestion. Have a TRNG or a CSPRNG (if too poor for a TRNG) choose the next layout at random for you, ideally with every keystroke. Good luck cracking that!

Could be done by using a device with a display - e.g. an "ereader" - to present a random keyboard layout. But, good luck being efficient typing on that. At that point, better use a different input model.

Or, use techniques such as those in the article, such as random keypresses played during the actual ones.
