Some critical keys (@) are in accessible on my Macbook running Natty. It's a 2006 danish keyboard model. Is there a way to edit the layout without resorting to Terminal? Alternatively where could the right layout be found? (it's not in keyboard prefs. i tried them all)

thanks for the answer below my keyboard looks like this:

the danish layout on Ubuntu misses the function key. the problem is that i cant get to the 3rd and 4th levels of the other keys.

  • Could you provide a picture of your keyboard? Have you tried to make some adjusts in layout options?

Is your keyboard something like this?:

If the answer is "yes", than you will be able to fix the @ issue by running something like this on terminal: 

xmodmap -e "keycode  11 = 2 quotedbl 2 quotedbl twosuperior at twosuperior at"

  • Nope. Look at the @ symbol.

  • I don't have a Mac. If there isn't an exact match of keyboard but there is one with only a few keys wrong, then these keys could be fixed with the command above. This is a workaround until some wise can post some more acceptable solution.
