Some Apple ISO keyboards have a quirk where the backtick/tilde key is swapped with the less-than/greater-than key. Unfortunately, there is no perfectly reliable way to detect whether a keyboard has the quirk or not, but the quirk appears to only be present on models that support Bluetooth, and the affected keyboards usually report country code 13 in the HID descriptor. Therefore, the best we can do is to change /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/iso_layout to a ternary: 0 = Not ISO or ISO and not quirky 1 = ISO and quirky -1 = Guess based on product ID and country code Table of keyboards I have tested: Product Model Shape Labels Bus Country Quirky ========================================================= 05ac:0201 M2452 ANSI Usonian USB 0 No 05ac:020b A1048 ANSI Usonian USB 0 No 05ac:020c A1048 ISO Québécois USB 13 No 05ac:0221 A1243 ISO Norwegian USB 13 No 05ac:0221 A1243 ISO Portuguese USB 13 No 05ac:0221 A1243 ISO Swedish USB 13 No 05ac:0221 A1243 ISO Swiss USB 13 No 05ac:022c A1255 ANSI Usonian BT 33 No 05ac:022d A1255 ISO Hebrew BT 13 Yes 05ac:022d A1255 ISO Québécois BT 13 Yes 05ac:022d A1255 ISO Spanish BT 13 Yes 05ac:023a A1314 ISO Russian BT 13 Yes 05ac:023a A1314 ISO Swiss BT 13 Yes 05ac:024f A1243 ANSI Usonian USB 0 No 05ac:0250 A1243 ISO British USB 13 No 05ac:0250 A1243 ISO German USB 13 No 05ac:0250 A1243 ISO Italian USB 13 No 05ac:0250 A1243 ISO Québécois USB 13 No 05ac:0251 A1243 JIS Japanese USB 15 No 05ac:0255 A1314 ANSI Usonian BT 33 No 05ac:0255 A1314 ANSI Taiwanese BT 33 No 05ac:0255 A1314 ANSI Thai BT 33 No 05ac:0256 A1314 ISO Arabic BT 13 Yes 05ac:0256 A1314 ISO French BT 13 Yes 05ac:0256 A1314 ISO German BT 13 Yes 05ac:0256 A1314 ISO Norwegian BT 13 Yes 05ac:0256 A1314 ISO Spanish BT 13 Yes 05ac:0256 A1314 ISO Swiss BT 13 Yes 05ac:0257 A1314 JIS Japanese BT 15 No 05ac:0267 A1644 ANSI Usonian USB 33 No 004c:0267 A1644 ANSI Usonian BT 0 No 05ac:0267 A1644 ISO British USB 13 Yes 004c:0267 A1644 ISO British BT 0 Yes 05ac:0267 A1644 ISO Swiss USB 13 Yes 004c:0267 A1644 ISO Swiss BT 0 Yes 05ac:0267 A1644 ISO Québécois USB 13 Yes 004c:0267 A1644 ISO Québécois BT 0 Yes 05ac:0267 A1644 JIS Japanese USB 15 No 004c:0267 A1644 JIS Japanese BT 0 No 05ac:029c A2450 ANSI Usonian USB 33 No 004c:029c A2450 ANSI Usonian BT 0 No 05ac:029c A2450 ISO Spanish USB 13 Yes 004c:029c A2450 ISO Spanish BT 0 Yes 05ac:029c A2450 JIS Japanese USB 15 No 004c:029c A2450 JIS Japanese BT 0 NoYou can add to the table: 05ac:0267 A1644 ISO Spanish USB 13 Yes 004c:0267 A1644 ISO Spanish BT 0 Yes Tested here and it works as expected, both over USB and bluetooth, thank you very much for fixing it! It's a pitty that we need to add a configuration option, for many users it is not going to be easy to discover it. macOS doesn't have this issue, so there must be a way of detecting the keyboard layout... Unless they apply the quirk on user space checking the selected keyboard layout and language in settings. I bought ANSI English keyboard to see if I could figure out where is the difference but no luck so far. For what it's worth, Tested-by: José Expósito [off-list ref]
Alex, could you please add the mentioned device IDs, include José's Tested-by: and resend, so that I could apply it? Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs
