This would require you to hit whatever makes your keyboard generate
Ctrl-W in order to get Ctrl-, (which, BTW, is not defined) so there
are two reasons why it wouldn't work.
I suggest that you choose some F key (these, IIUC, are in the same
location on Dvorak and QWERTY keyboards) and map it to the Ctrl-W key,
as follows:
:map <F9> <C-W>
:map! <F9> <C-W>
I used a similar mapping when I didn't know what key combination would
generate Ctrl-] on my keyboard (and now that I do know, I've kept the
mapping because that “native” key combo is difficult to produce).
