sv_dvorak - keyboard mappings and drivers
Keyboard driver files for sv_dvorak.
On this page you can find keyboard driver files for different
operating systems and environments. Please contribute with layout
files that you find are missing.
| Linux |

- Linux (RH 5.1 - 6.2, Debian) console driver:
- My console keyboard driver file: dvorak-se.map for use with the
loadkeys-command (e.g.,
"loadkeys /usr/lib/kbd/keytables/dvorak-se.map").
- Linux Xorg driver (setxkbmap):
- This definition file works with the X keyboard extension
(setxkbmap): se_sv_dvorak.xorg
(tested on Xorg 7.0.0 and 7.1.1, xorg-server 1.1, 2006). For newer Xorg
(xorg-server >= 1.4 it seems) try: se_sv_dvorak_new.xorg.
Probably (in Debian at least) drop this file as
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/se_sv_dvorak. Then use it with `setxkbmap
se_sv_dvorak`
- Linux XFree86 driver (setxkbmap):
- This definition file works with the X keyboard extension
(setxkbmap): se_sv_dvorak.xfree86. Probably (in
Debian at least) drop this file as
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/se_sv_dvorak. Then use it with `setxkbmap
se_sv_dvorak`
- Linux (RH 5.1 - 6.2, Debian) XFree86 xmodmap (old) driver:
- XFree86 seems to inherit the console driver keyboard layout, but
the keys get somewhat mixed up (backspace becomes
delete when running Netscape). Good solution is to use xmodmap
to change the mappings. My original xmodmap-file: xmodmap-linux.txt works fine for
XFree86 4.1 (my current X). For newer versions (4.3), try this
file: xmodmap-linux-xfree-new.txt
made by
Anders Höckersten, chucky@dtek.chalmers.se. He
has added some stuff to make special keys work (terminate server,
change resolution, change virtual terminal).

- Windows 7
- New (2012-09-08): Rasmus Einarsson initiated a layout update and
updated drivers created using Microsoft Keyboard Layout
Creator 1.4 (MSKLC). Together, we have slihtly updated the windows
layout according to these pictures:
Download new
driver: svdvrk5-windows.zip or
from the website of
Rasmus himself.
According to Microsoft the drivers might work with earlier
or other versions of windows as well.
- Windows Vista (64 bit as well):
- Rickard Gustafsson has contributed with drivers for Windows
Vista on different platforms: amd64, ia64, wow64, i386. Untested by
me but looks really nice. Download: svdvorak_64.7z (7-zip
format, small) or svdvorak_64.zip
(normal zip, bigger).
- Windows 2000/XP, administrator access:
- Anders Höckersten, chucky@dtek.chalmers.se has done a
keyboard driver for use with the Windows 2000/XP operating
systems. Download: sv-dvorak_win2000XP.zip. The
dll-file should be placed in \windows\system32. The reg-file
should be executed to make the layout visible in the control
panel.
- Windows XP, alternative, non-admin install
- If you cannot install the driver above as administrator you can
try this method. It uses a very good macro and key remapping
program: AutoHotkey. Install
the AutoHotkey program and use it with the following autohotkey
script: sv_dvorak.ahk.
- Windows 95/98:
- I use a modified keyboard driver: kbdsw_dv95.zip (610 bytes unpacked) or kbdsw_dv98.zip (614 bytes unpacked).
I took the old
kbdsw.kbd and used a binary file editor to shuffle around all the
letters. To make it easy to use, I have installed the american
dvorak driver as an additional language and replaced the kbddv.kbd
with kbdsw_dv.kbd. In this way, I can use Ctrl+Shift to swap between
normal swedish layout and swedish dvorak layout. The keyboard layout
defined by this driver will differ slightly from my normal one. Keyboard layout of my windows driver.
Before I started using the modified keyboard driver, I used the
american dvorak keyboard driver (included in windows). To manage the
extra remapping in order to get 'åäö' I used the free keyboard
remapping program Keys 2.1 (a
very nice program) by Péter
Szászvári and the following mapping
file (import it in Keys). The dead keys (acute, grave,
diaeresis) will not work however.
- Dos:
- I rarely use DOS nowadays and I have
not found any good remapping programs. Therefore, I only use
microsofts standard (american) dvorak
driver.

- OS X
2010-12-23, new version from Adam Lindberg who had problems with
earlier version. Try this one or the one below: svdvorak_osx.keylayout (save link, clicking
might give you an xml-error in your browser).
Updated OS X version by Andreas Kröhnke, 2010-01-25, to make
Caps Lock work properly: svdvorak_mac6.keylayout.
Old versions: Victor Andrée sent me an OS X driver that
fixes some problems with Magnus Hallin's version. svdvorak_mac6.keylayout.old.
Magnus Hallin's original version OS X: sv_dvorak_mac.keylayout.
To install, put the layout file in:
- ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/ to make it available for an
individual user, or
- /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ to make it available for all
users
(Library heter Bibliotek i svenska versionen).
