Please note that $ is AltGr + 4 on Danish keyboards. We do not use
shift to get $s. S-4 in Danish is ¤.
We also need AltGr to get characters such as @, {, [, ], }, and ~.
Additionally, we need to use S-8 to get ( and S-9 to get ). = is S-0.
I don't know if your suggestions can handle this or not, but I think
it should: We do not want separate bind files for every kind of
keyboard setup in the world.
I suppose that is why the ~-modifier was introduced in the first place:
It's an attempt to unify differernt keyboard conventions so we only
need one bind file.
We should keep that goal in mind.
