Whenever I use Windows 7 through Bootcamp, my keyboard mappings are totally different. Many special keys get mapped to what they would be on a PC keyboard, which is a real pain since I program on both platforms (and I am mostly used to the mac layout). The problem characters are these: []{}|\
On my SE Mac keyboard, I use these combinations:
- [] – any alt + 8/9
- {} – any alt + shift + 8/9
- | – any alt + 7
- \ – any alt + shift + 7
When in Bootcamp, it behaves like a Swedish PC keyboard:
- [] – right alt + 8/9
- {} – right alt + 7/0
- | – right alt + >
- \ – right alt + ?
I have tried numerous keyboard settings without any difference.
I was able to switch control and command using a register key but I have found no way to switch the combinations above.
Is there any way to fix this?
As I understand it, US keyboards do not have this problem since the above keys maps the same way on Mac and PC keyboards. I really envy that…

You can probably get what you want by creating a Windows layout with the Apple mapping. The tool for making such things is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964665.aspx
