I use a slight variant of this. Deep enough pockets, with my wallet placed in on top of my keys. It’s slightly more work to access the keys, since I have to remove the wallet first, but that also means they can’t easily fall out. In fact, I’ve only ever once lost keys with this strategy, and that was due to locking them inside a house with a deadlock.
Better than keys-below-wallet is keys-inside-wallet. I acquired a second wallet-like thing (just looked it up now, it looks like this kind of thing is usually sold as a “phone pouch”), in which I put my keys, a couple access card for electronic locks, and a library card. It sits flat in my back pocket and is generally noticeable when and only when I think about it.
