I'd second this. Switching to US ANSI layout (not US International layout) is like magic, I find it so much better that I always import my keyboards from the US, and only buy laptops if they have the US layout. Brazil uses a national standard called ABNT2 (which I consider to be an awful format), but to my advantage, I find the way Macs do accentuation (at least for latin alphabets) to be quite sensible (alt+vowel), and get angry whenever I have to use Linux because it doesn't have "Mac accents" For your case though, I think the Nordic alphabet might be trickier on the US layout, since it shares less common ground and there's a lot more to it
