For programming, yes, it might even be beneficial to use the US layout, and I've even used FI keyboard with US layout for longer stretches of time. But for communicating with own language, not quite as useful. I guess I could just not do that ;)

I use the "mac" variant option for the US QWERTY layout (`setxkbmap us -variant mac`). This functions as a regular US QWERTY layout, but I've access to various "special" characters and latin extended characters (e.g. æåøœ¡), as well as ^'"`~ as dead keys (to create îûéèñũäüö or whatever) via a modifier key (I use alt, but you can set it to whatever).

This allows me to use a single functional keyboard layout to write English, Norwegian _and_ code in.

I made https://github.com/mpartel/ee-altgr-keymap which is essentially the US layout plus AltGr+A -> ä AltGr+O -> ö

You could easily add å if you want.
