For example indent-region might be on C-M-\ and that is not accessible on a swedish keyboard. Why is that? Is there no way to type C-\? 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? I think we can't afford to try to worry about these issues.
