Hi,

I have an Apple MacBook Pro 7,1 running Ubuntu 12.04 (same problem on Ubuntu 11.10) with a UK keyboard layout. The layout has never been correct with either English (UK, Macintosh) or English (UK Macintosh International).

Under English (UK, Macintosh) for example:-

The 'section' key (next to numeric 1) gives me a backtick and tilde (non-shift and shifted respectively).
The 'backtick/tilde' key (between z and shift) gives me greater-than and less-than.

Under English (UK, Macintosh International) for example:-

The 'section' key responds correctly with section and plus/minus.
The tilde/backtick key gives me tilde and backtick (only if I press the key then space) - I presume this is used on international keyboards for accenting characters. The quote/double-quote key operates in the same way.

So it seems I want the _layout_ of the English (UK, Macintosh International) but with the single-press-for-quotes-and-ticks that the English (UK, Macintosh) layout has. Hope that makes sense.

Al.
