keyboard-layout

I have a macbook-pro with a swedish keyboard. To to get the curly brace '{' I press alt(=option)+shift+8, but to get the same character when I run vmware/windows I should press alt+7.

Oviously, I would like to use the same keyboard layout in mac and windows, how can I make this happen?
