Re: [PATCH] unswap the grave and 102nd keys on Apple Alu ISO keyboard

I'm using the standard US (pc105) keymap.
That explains it then. The pc105 keymap calls for the tilda and grave key to be placed next to the 1. So if I select the same layout on my macbook, then they end up in the correct place (according to the layout) on the internal keyboard. For the external keyboard the quirk is then mapping them down to next to the z key, which just happens to be where Apple puts them on their international keyboard (but not on their US ones). The pc105 keyboard is actually very close to the Apple ISO layout, apart from some of the special keys like £ and the placement of tilda and grave and the inclusion of a §± key next to 1.

I'm afraid I don't know how to sort out this mess, but I'm pretty sure
removing the ISO quirk for just one ISO keyboard is not correct.
I'd actually argue that proves that the quirk shouldn't have been applied to this model of keyboard. I guess my main point is that there shouldn't be a discrepency between the internal and external keyboards. If you selected pc105 on a laptop with an iso keyboard, then the tilda key should be next to 1, and if you used a uk,mac layout with an apple iso keyboard then the tilda should be next to z.
