This is the QGMLWY keyboard layout modified for Icelandic language use.
The Icelandic characters were not placed in a scientific manner, but like in the original layout, all vowels are positioned on the right half of the keyboard, and all consonants on the left.
| Key Combination | Character |
|---|---|
| alt-gr + a | á |
| alt-gr + e | é |
| alt-gr + o | ó |
| alt-gr + h | æ |
| alt-gr + u | ú |
| alt-gr + y | ý |
| alt-gr + b | ö |
| alt-gr + t | ð |
| alt-gr + n | þ |
| alt-gr + i | í |

Right-alt does not produce Icelandic keys: If you use GNOME, make sure that you have the 'compose key' disabled in Tweaks Tool -> Keyboard & Mouse.
Set the following settings:
echo "1" | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/swap_opt_cmd
echo "1" | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/swap_fn_leftctrl
