Hello, Ubuntu Studio/KDE here.
Is there any way to change the shortcuts priority? For example, there is a way to switch to keyboard layout 1 by pressing left Ctrl, and to layout 2 by pressing right Ctrl, but in that case any other shortcut that has Ctrl stops working. If I set the layout switching to Ctrl+Shift, any shortcut using Ctrl+Shift+anything else won't work.
On windows, there is a third-party program that allows selecting layouts via right and left Ctrl, and it doesn't interfere with any shortcuts that use Ctrl, i.e. the layout change will trigger only with a single Ctrl press, no holding, no chords. Is there a (relatively easy) way to achieve this in Linux?

You are about to find out how much you hate the caps lock key's unjustifiable real estate.

And that you can tell which editor a person uses based on how they remap it

I don't have the answer to your problem, but this sort of thing can easily be done with a Vial compatible mechanical keyboard.

Not so; if the action is bound to the key release, you can still use Ctrl as a modifier with other keys.
FWIW I use Windows key combos for most shortcuts; they never interfer with canonical shortcuts (like Ctrl-c, Alt-F4 etc.).
