I use my own keyboard with the standard AZERTY French layout with some
extensions. I would not use the QWERTY-based Swedish layout.
Can be downloaded for Windows on
http://www.rodage.org/pub/French-Sahel.html
(built with MSKLC, available for free under LGPL).
Its layout is shown on http://www.rodage.org/pub/French-Sahel.pdf
