Programmer's VIM setup for Finnish/Swedish or other non-US keyboard layout

Question

I\'ve been recently learning some VIM hackery and I have learned a lot of useful commands and gotten pretty efficient at editing text with VIM. I\'m using the Finnish qwerty key

Answer 1

As a practical stopgap, could you not simply switch between layouts?

For example, in Ubuntu, you can set up hotkeys to easily switch between layouts by going to Preferences → Keyboard → Layouts → Options → Key(s) to change layout. I use both Shift keys to quickly move between layouts, and there's even an option so that each window has its own layout setting, which works well if you're programming in Vim in a U.S. English layout while writing documentation/emails/etc. in other windows in a different layout. Even if I have to switch layouts (for code comments, etc.), it takes very little effort to hit both Shift buttons and carry on.

There should be similar ways to configure this in other desktop environments / operating systems.
