Is there a software fix for this, please?. How can I fix my system, so that I can again have the Swiss German keyboard layout as per picture above, and generate symbols as shown on my keyboard, like by pressing G plus right Alt key? So now, since my software has been updated, the symbol - which is printed on the G key - no longer appears by pressing "right alt"+G (in fact what comes out is “ç” instead!), while I am still to figure out where to find all other symbols.
To make things worse, because my password includes some symbols, I tried it first where I could see all characters (under email address), and to my horror the exclamation mark (“!”) was not where it shows on the keyboard (again as per photo above) instead it was in ‘1+‘ key at the top left corner, only appearing after pressing “shift” plus “+”. I then found out that appeared by clicking the right-ALT key plus ‘L’ which clearly is not where it should be. I did set the QWERTZ keyboard except that in the subsequent setup steps, when entering my email address, I could not find the "AT" sign which on the physical keyboard is printed on the G key, as shown in the picture above. So I chose ‘Switzerland’ thinking I would get my old Swiss keyboard back. The first ‘setup’ question is ‘Location’, which is when we basically chose our keyboard setting.
I collected my laptop today, which is now repaired (software issue), and when reconnecting at home I was asked to set up my MAC. Physical layout is the actual positioning of keys on a keyboard.
I bought my MacBook Pro in 2017, which came with a Swiss keyboard (QWERTZ) as follows:Ī couple of weeks ago my laptop crashed and I took it to the nearest Apple shop (as soon as they re-opened during COVID19 de-confinement). A keyboard layout is any specific physical, visual or functional arrangement of the keys, legends, or key-meaning associations (respectively) of a computer keyboard, mobile phone, or other computer-controlled typographic keyboard.
