Description Mathew Hodson 2017-01-30 01:52:19 UTC

In Canada, many keyboards are bilingual and have a slightly different layout from US keyboards. They have an additional backslash key next to the left shift key.

Currently, the less-than symbol is mapped to the left backslash key.

I believe this is the change that needs to be made in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/tree/symbols/ca

 partial alphanumeric_keys
 xkb_symbols "eng" {
     include "us(basic)"
     name[Group1] = "English (Canada)";
+
+ key <LSGT> { [ backslash, bar, voidsymbol, voidsymbol ] };
 };
