If you know what a nordic keyboard layout looks like, you'd probably prefer backslash. Since I moved to Linux a year ago I've been struggling to find the easiest way to forward slash. Shift + 7? Or numpad / with my right pinky?

Had a similar struggle with the German layout, but in the meantime I have moved to the "EURKey" layout. It is built in to many distros and available for Windows and Mac. It mimics a US layout while still having all the äüöß (and much more) I could ever need. Though I will say it's only really worth it if you're in IT or similar where you frequently need certain symbols.

That's not a bad shout at all. It does hide æøå on weird keys though, would take a lot of practice to get used to that, but I'll definitely put that layout into the layout rotation, thanks for the suggestion.
