Svdvorak is a Dvorak keyboard layout adapted for the Swedish alphabet, originally by Gunnar Parment. Microsoft Windows lacks anything but the original Dvorak layout. This particular implementation is for Windows and embellishes the layout with some commonly used symbols (parentheses etc.) under the left hand in combination with AltGr, as found in the Svdvorak layout available through the X Window System (at least, I think it's through X). Note that this implementation does not strive to emulate the X layout.
This Svdvorak layout is available either with or without remapped virtual keys (VK). The difference is that with remapped virtual keys, Ctrl-C, for instance, uses the Svdvorak position for C, while the implementation without remapped virtual keys uses the QWERTY position for C.
Visual descriptions of the layout are available in the images folder. Note that you cannot see the virtual keys.
The file CapsLockToControl.reg will modify the Windows registry to change Caps Lock into another Control.
Installers are available under Releases. They have been tested with Windows 7 and Windows 10.
Games appear to have no problems with the layout.
Anti-virus heuristics may raise a false positive over the installer. When it has happened to me, building the installer on the same system seemed to mollify the anti-virus (at least until the very same file was moved off-system and then back).
The layout is built with the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator.
