You try it once, and you see which colour applies to your language. It's not really a big deal. (And even that's only required to disambiguate between danish and norwegian.)
As someone who grew up having to write both on a regular basis, it was neat having both on the same layout. Now that I use Linux it doesn't matter as much since altgr lets me type æø instead of äö, but back on Windows you'd have to switch layout for that.
It's too bad they didn't at least ship nordic as a separate option.
- Sammi 2y agoI'm looking down at my nordic layout keyboard I've owned to ten years. I have no idea which color is which language.
- netsharc 2y agoWhat are the colors? If I were tasked to design them, I'd take the red from the Danish flag, yellow from the Swedish one and the blue from the Finnish flag..
- Nullabillity 2y agoThere isn't really a standard colour scheme AFAIK, but you can tell quickly which one you need to care about. And by the way, it's generally swedish/danish/norwegian. The finnish layout is basically the same as the swedish one.
- netsharc 2y agoOh no, I forgot about Norway! I guess the blue would be for Norway then.
- CRConrad 2y agoYou don't need to differentiate between Swedish and Finnish, since the layouts are identical, but between Danish and Norwegian, because Ø and Æ swap places between those two. (So, blue for Norwegian?)
- Nullabillity 2y agoThe one with Ö left is swedish, Ø left is norwegian, Æ left is danish.
- CRConrad 2y agoMine are all the same colour, so no help there... But generally, ÄÖ is Swedish / Finnish, and ØÆ / ÆØ is Danish and Norwegian. But which of the latter two is which, and why on earth did they flip those two around between the languages??? So fricking weird...
