The layout at a glance

This Swedish virtual keyboard mirrors the QWERTY layout of a physical Swedish keyboard. Its 48 character keys reach the 29 letters of the Latin script (U+0041–U+005A, U+0061–U+007A, U+00C0–U+024F) straight from the browser, with no software to install and no system setting to change.

The layout reaches 8 characters that an ordinary Latin keyboard does not carry: ¤ § ¨ ´ ½ ä å ö.

How to type in Swedish

  1. Click the on-screen keys or type on your physical keyboard — both write into the same text area.
  2. Shift shows the second layer of every key: capitals and the characters printed at the top right.
  3. The Copy button puts the whole text on the clipboard, ready to paste into an email, a document or a form.
  4. The Google, YouTube and ChatGPT buttons run a search with the text you typed, without retyping it.
