Using swedish layout on a US keyboard

(1/2) > >>

Ohoy!

I was wondering if someone knows how you type the pipe or vertical bar symbol on a US keyboard when using swedish settings for it? I guess I could use alt + the ASCII code for it but is there any faster way?

kode:
You could probably bind it to something like alt gr+z, I suppose.

As you can see, your stupid US keyboard is missing an important key and therefore it cannot type properly. Get yourself a proper 102/105-key board.

Thanks for the input guys. I decided to learn the US layout and set the special characters for swedish (åäö) under ctrl + alt + [, ', ;

I do like the placement of the special characters on the US layout better than swedish, only chatting with buddies in SE will be a bit slower.

Ripster: That's not a stupid US keyboard. That's a damn sexy US keyboard that is.

Myself, I use the [ and ] keys for å and æ (corresponds to å and ä in Swedish) and the VK_102 (which I put in the old 'B' key position!) for ø (corresponds to Swedish ö). The ø is the most common one of those so it's not on AltGr mapping.
