I have my own customised layout that works on desktops and laptops. That is, I've transferred all (well, nearly all) functions to the main keyboard. Before sharing this layout with someone recently, I double-checked and switched back and forth between my layout and the default. Switching in both directions worked fine. Of course, to use my layout I run text-to-set rather than selecting from the Keyboard Menu and, interestingly, it runs much faster.

Should I try it or can changing keyboard layout potentially mess up WE if you want to change back?
