Alternative Finnish layout

[printscreen]

This is a longshot but here goes. Is it possible to make an alternative layout for Finnish keyboard without letter 'å'. I can't recall one instance in my life when I needed that letter. CTRL+F -> Å in my messenger chat logs for 2009-2010 brought up one result - it was a typo. Removing that button would make other buttons on the top row a bit larger without losing any functionality. Å could be available via long pressing A or O (or whatever, dont really care).

"The letter Å (small å) represents various sounds in the alphabets used for Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish (although no native Finnish words contain the letter å)"

Sure, it's not too late to put in 3.7.0

Actually, I'm not sure it's a good idea to remove å and keep ä ö as is, it will create a shift between the two first rows
Isn't it possible to put the ä as alternative letter of ö (or the reverse)?

That was actually the second part of the plan. After somewhat deep investigation I came to the conclusion that Ä and Ö are used in the proportion around 3:1. And would be very handy if Ö was available via long press of Ä. By removing Å and combining Ä and Ö the keyboard would be nicer to use. The beef in using some other keyboards, for example english international, is that Ä and Ö are available via long press and slide. Text prediction helps a lot but in some cases (search, url etc.) it's good to have Ä and Ö quickly available.

Well that's my ten cents, my two cents is free

OK, I added this here, I think it's what you wanted

Yep, you've got it right sir. Thank you. Doesn't really matter but I think that naming them Suomi and Suomi (-å) would be more precise.

Thanks again.

Just wanted to thank both of you for this new layout. It makes this awesome keyboard even better than it was for us Finnish users.
