The swedish alphabet has more characters than the english, so we naturally
have to use shifting more often (especially when programming...). I
suspect finding a combination that avoids any kind of shift is difficult.

Using no shift at all:

	??	- I never use this symbol, don't even know it's purpose
	<<	- Already used (and '>' requires shift of course)
	++	- Maybe?

Using shift and pressing the same key twice:

	``..``	- I never use this combination
	!!	- Already used
	##	- Already used
	%%	- Already used
	&&	- Available?
	//	- Too common I suspect
	((..))	- Clashes with math?
	==	- Hmm... ?
	^^	- Already used?

I'm not sure if any of the above is useful though.
