The Swedish keyboard


I’ve been using one for a few months now, since I had to replace a kaput computer in Stockholm on short notice.  Mostly it is fine.  But why do they make it so hard to use the “@” sign?  You have to press Control and Alt together and then tap the key for 2.  Do the Swedes so hate sending new emails to people?  They don’t seem to use brackets much either, again you have to go the Control and Alt route to access them.

You do get a bunch of umlaut thingies in return.  ö and the like.  Wönderful!

Some of the keys I don’t understand at all, and they also don’t seem to work, see below:

If you want a mini-rebellion against globalization, well there you go.
