This is a setup that is very useful for me. It may or may not be for
you. I will use it in conjunction with the A5 overlayed sv_SE layout.
The layout is subject to change (in particular I'm thinking about adding
a macro recording feature), but it have not changed much the past year
or two so you can expect it to be stable enough to learn it.

The most major points:
======================
L0:
---
* Easily accessible F11 key for fullscreening
* Print screen
* Middle mouse button for X-paste
* Improved reachability of meta buttons (LCtrl, LALt, AltGr, LGui etc.)
* Cluster Page Up/Down + Home/End by the right thumb
* Vim-like arrow layout in right bottom row
* Set media layer toggle to right thumb (Enter)
* Set apostrophe on LCtl (putting it next to some other small
characters)
L1:
---
* Full function key layout
* Teensy button
L2:
---
* Improved media buttons layout (close by the jkl; Vim binding)
* Improved layout of emulated mouse buttons
LED behaviour to binary+CAPS
============================
The ErgoDox LEDs on this layout is using the two rightmost LEDs as the
two LSB in a two digit binary number, representing layer 0, 1, 2 and 3.
The leftmost byte/LED indicates CAPS status.
*NOTE:* it might still be desirable to set the software layout to sv_SE in your
OS.
Swedish (sv_SE) Qwerty layout for ErgoDox, based on the Default configuration
I have tried making this as close of a match I could between the [default
ErgoDox EZ configuration](https://ergodox-ez.com/pages/our-firmware) and a
standard Swedish Qwerty layout.
Notable differences from default:
=================================
* There are three special character buttons (acute accent, circumflex/tilde and
apostrophe/asterisk) that don't have any buttons to map to naturally. I've put
these at other places:
* Acute accent (´) can be found in the lower left corner, conveniently
placed to reach for making an é.
* Apostrophe (') was put in the lower left corner, close to acute accent.
* Circumflex (^) and asterisk (*) was placed in the lower right corner.
* Tilde (~) and diaeresis (¨) I couldn't find a good place for, so I left
those out. I could only get the buttons to produce a single one of the
characters. How can I get it to work properly?
* The Alt button on right thumb was exchanged for AltGr (RAlt).
* I changed the backslash in the numpad (layer 1) for a minus. Thought it was
more sensible.
* I didn't find a good place for the "<>|" button, so that one was left out.
That is a problem that really needs to be resolved. Pipe can be found on layer
one, however.
