Hi Karl, Thanks for the tip.
I just enforced Alt+w to be å using: xmodmap -e "keycode 25 = w W aring Aring aring Aring" Not it is just a matter to add it into my .xinitrc. Not sure nowadays the desktop environments read it, but at the least it will be saved in some place I can easily find. And thanks Staffan for the tip also, but as Karl mentioned, it doesn't work. The result is: óá (using us-international).
