I am running Ubuntu 16.10 on a MacbookPro and keys 49 and 94 are inverted… I resolved this problem with xmodmap
, but this won't apply permanently. After some research I found xmodmap
is no longuer use by Ubuntu but xkb
instead. So I searched in the configuration of xkb and I found in the config file /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/macintosh
this lines :
xkb_keycodes "badmap" {
<TLDE> = 94;
<LSGT> = 49;
};
xkb_keycodes "goodmap" {
<TLDE> = 49;
<LSGT> = 94;
};
This is exactly my problem, this two keys are inverted. So I wondering if I can't change my layout configuration with the param badmap
.
The ouput of setxkbmap -query -v 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C

Success.
Applied rules from evdev:
rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: fr,fr,us
variant: mac,oss,
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: evdev+aliases(azerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+fr(mac)+fr(oss):2+us:3+inet(evdev)
geometry: pc(pc105)
rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: fr,fr,us
variant: mac,oss,

I accidentally stumbled upon this patch, which led me to the solution:
Open
/etc/default/keyboard
for editing and set:At next reboot those keys will be switched.
