Comment 25 for bug 73240

comment 16 states that Windows gets it right and that Linux does not even have a setting which gets it right. Therefore, such a setting would have to be created first before becoming default. At least that's my understanding of comment 16.

As somebody who uses a German keyboard (which I think Bryce does not, so it'll likely be harder for him to grasp what's being discussed here) I can certainly attest to the fact that I never quite found a setting that worked exactly the way I expected it to.

Now, if somebody tells me about the package that contains the keyboard layout definitions, I'll make sure that a ticket gets opened to create a layout fully compliant with DIN 2137 standard (Germans are Germans ;-)) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Howto%3A%20Custom%20keyboard%20layout%20definitions would suggest that it's xkb-data but I'm not sure how accurate or current that wiki page is.
