wow, just wow. :) While you obviously like it that way, I'd say if I
have to choose between some minor inconvenience in one or two
applications and dealing with a foreign keyboard layout, having to learn
shortcuts for common characters of my native language (and having to
re-adapt every time I use another computer), I'll choose the
inconvenience of sometimes having to use the mouse or remap some
shortcut. :)

Well, ymmv but I have switched from using Swedish keyboard layout to US together with a text expansion program, in my case Typinator, to make it easy to type the special characters I need. I think it works great to use e.g. ".ae" for ä and ".ue" for ü. And now all the shortcut in Textmate works as they should ...
