I am getting REALLY tired of adjusting my typing habit when needing to type characters such as ø, å and æ to name a few, after switching from Mac OSX to Windows to Mac OSX, which I unfortunately have to. Haven't tried Linux recently, but it could prove to have its own layout again.

Is there any standard layout one can expect? To type ø for instance, I need to hold down Alt key and hit the O key on Mac. Simple enough. On Windows however, that would be Alt and L.

Is there any standard layout for my usage pattern? I am typing mostly Norwegian, but occasionally also Swedish letters.

If I knew there was a standard, I could just install the layout on the platforms I use and be done with it.

You could always use the encodings, which should be standard instead of relying on the keyboards mappings.

Ø on Windows and Mac should map to Alt + 0216
