ALT-V Does not work when Swedish Dvorak is included in keyboard layout list
Reason being that Task Switcher - Walk Through Windows of Current Application - is by default bound to Alt+`
Swedish layout with Dvorak variant has the “`” character bound to the “.” key (which is “V” in dvorak)
Either replace the Task Switcher binding or if possible use the Dvorak A5 variant as that does not have the “`” character bound to the “.” key
The A5 layout goal is to make /(){}[] accessible without reaching the number row, it just happens to be missing a lot of extra characters in other places so should cause less conflicts with keyboard shortcuts.
Maybe better to unbind Alt+` and Alt+~
Because even with Dvorak A5 layout Alt+s does not work in Emacs.
And another approach - to not use KDE's keyboard switcher
This configures US dvorak, Swedish dvorak and Swedish layouts
And configures Caps Lock as Ctrl and the switching between layouts is then done with (the original) Left Ctrl button
