I've been googling for hours, and I really can't seem to find an answer to what I'm trying to do here.

So basically what I wanna do is use an English keyboard, but make it so that when I press Capslock + either æ ø or å where they would be on the Norwegian keyboard, I type these letters. It doesn't necessarily have to be the Capslock key, but it would be preferable as I never use it.

So like I said, I've been looking around a lot. I found the composeKey, but I really don't have time to press 2 or 3 different keys to produce the letters, since they're used frequently in Norwegian. I need it to be like pressing shift to make a capital letter. I found some threads that looked promising using xkb, but I couldn't make it work for Ubuntu 15.04.

Any help is deeply appreciated. If there is anything more you need to know, let me know. Thanks in advance!

I fixed it guys!

Short answer: Switched to English(Macintosh)

As user Kos suggested I switched the keyboard layout to English( International with dead keys). This worked, but unfortunately it doesn't have å. However, I messed around with different English keyboards and found that English(Macintosh) gives me æ ø å using AltGr + ', a and o respectively. This is going to take some getting used to, but at least I won't need to switch between to keyboards all the time. Thanks a lot for your help!
