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!

Some places use touchscreen keypads for PIN entry exactly for this reason: to allow randomization, e.g. for opening a locked door, or for authorizing a transaction.

Do they randomize the key locations though?

Otherwise, you leave behind grease where your fingers touched
