As a temporary workaround I can recommend using xmodmap (install it if necessary) to swap the two keys into their right places. Proced as follows:
1. Open a terminal and ensure you're in your home directory. 2. Enter these commands: xmodmap -pke | grep 'keycode *49' >>.Xmodmap xmodmap -pke | grep 'keycode *94' >>.Xmodmap 3. Open ~/.Xmodmap in an editor, replace the number 49 with 94 and vice versa. 4. Run xmodmap. At the start of your next user session a dialog box may appear asking you to confirm loading .Xmodmap from now on. Do so. This will correct the keyboard layout in all applications. It will not work in places like virtual machines. To swap the keys in my VirtualBox Windows XP environment too, I used Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (Google it), a .NET-based GUI for creating keyboard layouts. That was a bit more difficult than accomplishing the same thing in Ubuntu. -- [gutsy] Finnish/Swedish MacBook § and < keys are swapped (keycodes 49 and 94 swapped) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139833 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
