Public bug reported:
Looking at /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/de (Ubuntu Saucy)
one difference to the original mac os x I notice is that the ~ key
(n+rigth alt) is a dead key on Mac OS X so that one easily can create
the ñ character. Should maybe line 47 be changed from:
key <AB06> { [ n, N, asciitilde
] };
to:
key <AB06> { [ n, N, dead_tilde
] };
And then further down in the nodeadkey version add the line
key <AB06> { [ n, N, asciitilde ]
};
I noticed that here on ubuntu saucy, these definitions are for some
reason additionally present in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de so they
need to be changed both places.
