Hi.

Should be easy, but I didn't find the solution so far.

I use a german Macintiosh keyboard with Ubuntu 14.04 desktop. All works fine, except that the keys "°^" (2nd row from top, 1st key) and "><" (5th row from top, 2nd key) are swaped.

Why is this?
How can I revert it?

Thanks,

You can run xev from the command line to find the keycode of the keys and xmodmap to swap them. There's a very detailed explanation on Ubuntu Aswers (http://askubuntu.com/questions/24916/how-do-i-remap-certain-keys-or-devices/24930#24930).
