#185878 — macbook keyboard layout

Hi,

unfortunately i am not able to get Tilde character work properly on 
Debian OS. I am using macbook pro retina 2015 and tried to key the 
keyboard layout in the settings to any available English option but 
still i get >or< instead of Tilde and seems nothing changed after 
choosing different layouts.

I've tried to ask in different communities, but nobody could help me. 
Also, i've read the debian/macbook page but i couldn't figure it out.

Please help me to fix this as i am choosing Debian as my primary OS.

Thanks a lot.
Ardawan

I believe that might be related to your locale  settings for language or 
charset.  Works fine ~ for EN, and utf8 here.

OK, according to https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard, you should install 
keyboard-configuration and follow the on-screen prompts. You probably 
want to choose either "macbook78" or "macbook79" (the International 
variant - the number probably indicates the number of keys on your 
keyboard) as the keyboard MODEL.

Secondly, are you saying that pressing the tilde key produces the string 
">or<" or the string "or"? Either way, that's an odd thing to produce. I 
wonder if you have some sort of macro or keyboard shortcut set up? In what 
sort of environment does this happen (e.g. Linux Terminal, Gnome, KDE 
etc?)
