Hi Markismus,

It's little confusing as it is on the keyboard but is not in fact a Swedish letter. These days there is one keyboard for Danish, Norwegian and Swedish (A Nordic keyboard) the only difference is the two keys to the right of the L key produce different letters:

Swedish: ö and ä
Danish: æ and ø
Norwegian: ø and æ

So I've copied the Danish files and substituted ö for æ and ä for ø. I looked at the collates files and they appeared to contain pretty much every variation of a, o including the Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and other languages so I just left it as it was.

In fact I'm still not convinced that the keyboard files are completely correct as they contain the German ü which doesn't exist on the Nordic keyboard but I couldn't find a detailed description of the file format and it doesn't appear to be as simple as typing what's on the keyboard rows on each line (for example the p and å appear on the third row after the m in the keyboard file and not on the first line after the o as they do on the physical keyboard?), so I left the ü in there since it was in the original Danish keyboard file but think it's probably wrong.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a description of the keyboard file format I'd be very happy to produce one for each of the Nordic languages.
