Hi, I have an Apple MacBook Pro 7,1 running Ubuntu 12.04 (same problem on Ubuntu 11.10) with a UK keyboard layout. The layout has never been correct with either English (UK, Macintosh) or English (UK Macintosh International). Under English (UK, Macintosh) for example:- The 'section' key (next to numeric 1) gives me a backtick and tilde (non-shift and shifted respectively). The 'backtick/tilde' key (between z and shift) gives me greater-than and less-than. Under English (UK, Macintosh International) for example:- The 'section' key responds correctly with section and plus/minus. The tilde/backtick key gives me tilde and backtick (only if I press the key then space) - I presume this is used on international keyboards for accenting characters. The quote/double-quote key operates in the same way. So it seems I want the _layout_ of the English (UK, Macintosh International) but with the single-press-for-quotes-and-ticks that the English (UK, Macintosh) layout has. Hope that makes sense. Al. I also filed this bug in Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/630203
If you look at symbols/gb, you will see the section mac_intl. For mappings AC11 and LSGT, could you please try removing dead_ prefixes from the keys - then reconfiguring your keyboard to use English (UK, Macintosh International). Will that work for you?
Created attachment 77337 [details] [review] Patch for UK Mac keyboard layout This patch fixes the non-international layout for my UK MacBook Pro keyboard. It also makes the layout work with the macbook79 model as well (though there doesn't seem to be much reason to use that instead of the PC models).
fine, thanks fixed!
