How to type Swedish and Finnish
å is on [, ö on ; and ä on ', to the right of the English letters. The accents are dead keys: ´ on = (´ then e gives é) and ¨ on ] (¨ then u gives ü).
Finnish loanwords use š and ž, which the plain layout does not have. Pick Finnish with Sami in the Layout menu: š is AltGr + S and ž is AltGr + Z.
@ is AltGr + 2, € is AltGr + 5 and § is on the key left of 1.
Windows uses one layout for Swedish and Finnish.
