I have an apple magic keyboard (amazon link), but I want the regular "windows" keymap. It's almost working, except for some keys.



The Left Alt functions as the "left super" key, and the left command key does nothing. I want the left ALT to be the "windows/super" key, and the left command key to be left alt, etc. Just like with a "normal" keyboard, right?



Also, the "pipe" character which is located top left on my normal Norwegian keyboard is now the key on the left side of z.



Maybe I just suck at googling, but I have literally spent more than 3 hours searching and trying. The closest thing I've found is to edit /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols, but I can't figure out how to determine what keys to change (i.e what key represents the left command, is it A01, AD11, or some other obscure name?).



I can't help but feel that people must have done this before and documented the steps, and that I'm just unable to find it. Appreciate any tips.

  • As regards the pipe symbol, the answer to this question would probably fix that.
