Hi there,
I can’t get the keyboard of my Apple MacBook to work under Manjaro. I have set the preferences to Austrian Macintosh. But I cannot set @ or |. Is there another key combination for this?
Kind regards
Jens
Hi @IdEBugla,
Apple products are notorious for having trouble in anything other than iOS. Your best bet would be to check this out:
Try to set it to defaults or to something else?
What that “something else” could be I don’t know.
There are not a lot of people reporting this - they may have just went with default layout.
on a normal keyboard, one does not need to “set @ or |” - it’s just there, on the key
But Macs are a bit of a special case in many cases.
Go with default layout - don’t be too specific as to Austrian and Mac
when you change layouts in Xfce - there is always a typing area where you can test what output each key stroke will yield
trial and error …
install the following package
pamac install hid-apple-patched-git-dkms
a reboot is required after installation

then I get the error message, destination not found
please check
pamac search hid-apple-patched-git-dkms
post the output
worked, can now work properly!
Many thanks for the tip!
Best regards
