And, once again I am not sure about Windows, but I defined my own keyboard layout, so I now have 4 different characters on most keys (I put labels on my keys so I won't forget which key is what), so I just use the AltGr key (is this a standard key or is it only available on Swedish keyboards?) and Shift key to call the different characters. I even have symbols on my arrow keys, such as ←, ↓, → and ↑, and they still work also as just arrow keys (when not using the AltGr key).
The AltGr key is, I believe, only missing from the standard US keyboard in Windows (and probably DVORAK keboards). All other keyboards appear to have it, so far as I have seen. And it can easily be added with a keyboard editor to extend the US keyboard, as can a Kana shift key which allows another four levels of shifting in combination with the Alt key and regular shift key. (And you can also define the Shift Lock key to give you yet another 8 levels of shifting along with the Alt key and the Kana key (if your fingers can stand it). Perhaps we should have shift foot-pedals.
Note that the AltGr key is really just a single key which simulates pressing the regular ALT key and the Control key simultaneously. THe Kana key is, however, a genuine alternate shift key.
