Quite often I found I want to use something in Emacs that is bound to a key
I can't use on my swedish keyboard. For example indent-region might be on
C-M-\ and that is not accessible on a swedish keyboard.
What are your thoughts about these problems? Is there any thoughts on
language specifik keyboard files for adjusting things like that? Can it be
done?

Why is that? Is there no way to type C-\?

I think we can't afford to try to worry about these issues.

Not as far as I can see.

I did, since I am using a swedish keyboard on a pc with AltGr ;-)
I have uploaded altgr.el to http://www.emacswiki.org/ with a workaround for
the problem. I just redefine keys which are on AltGr (like \) in
funktion-key-map to use another key when the keyboard event is modified is
modified with control or meta. There are structures in the file for entering
new language specific modifiers. I will encourage other users to enhance the
file with something suitable for their specific language keyboard.
I believe altgr.el could be loaded by the setup-function in
language-info-alist, but I do not know if this is the right place?
