Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/117

macOS has a keyboard layout for dvorak with commands using modifier keys still mapped to qwerty such that things like cmd-c, cmd-v etc are still on left side and doable with one hand.

keycastr unfortunately breaks those key combos by issuing the equivalent literal keys such as cmd-j, cmd-k instead.

I wonder if any Dvorak users could please provide feedback on v0.9.10 -- this version changes to a different strategy for displaying the user's keycaps instead of input key characters, which might have a positive effect on this issue depending on your keyboard input setup.
