Hi,
This is sort of off-topic, since my M100 is a US model and I have never
tried to write Swedish on it. I moved here over 30 years ago and while
I insisted on using a US keyboard layout at first, I eventually decided
it was way too complicated to use the alt-gr key and some 'other' key
just to write simple words in Swedish. This was more complicated than
one might think because it not only meant learning new key positions, it
also meant that the usual square and curly brackets that are often used
in computer programming now became the ones that needed the alt-gr key.
It also hardware implications. I used 'classic' IBM keyboards (the ones
that click) and had managed to acquire several of these with the US
keyboard layout in Sweden, some of them dating back to the IBM-AT.
These became unnecessary when I switched, but it also meant I had to
find those IBM keyboards with the Swedish layout. I even have a pair to
use on an IBM RS6000, which, despite the connector, is not compatible
with the IBM-PC ones.
I have quite a collection of keyboards......

Rune Looking at the picture of this Modell 100, it
seems like it follows a standard Norwegian keyboard which is of
course different from a USA keyboard. But on my Macbook Pro, when
I enable the Norwegian keyboard, the M100 emulation glyphs
actually match up perfectly to the key locations (i.e. the key
matrix to character mapping is the same, just the key caps are
different to show different letters / characters typed.
So the question is this ... if you are running VirtualT with the
Norwegian ROM but a US keyboard layout, how would you want it to
behave? Would you want it to give you the exact key that you
pressed that matches the keycap on the USA keyboard layout, or
would you want it as it is ... where it generates the character
that matches what is normally in that key location on an actual
Norwegian keyboard? And if it is the later, then how would you
want to enter characters like ø,Ø, æ, Æ, å, Å etc.? Ken
