Custom keyboard layout in OS X

I've been using US keyboard for a long time now but I still want to have access to for åäö for writing Swedish and for that I have created a custom keyboard layout using Ukelele.

  1. Download the bundle from here
  2. From within the bundle copy the file Contents/Resources/U.S.\ -\ Swedish.keylayout to ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts
  3. Add the keyboard layout in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources, it can be found under the Other category.

All done and now you can access åäö on ⌥-[, ⌥-;, ⌥-' and shift gives the upper case variants.
