As the keyboard layout of my MacBook has quite some differences, I tried to figure out how to get all the keys I’m used to.

Here’s what I did (following the advices given here):

  • open the file /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and change it (for a german keyboard) as following

    KEYBOARDTYPE="mac"
KEYTABLE="mac-de-latin1-nodeadkeys"
  • for other layouts than the german one have a look at /lib/kbd/keymaps/mac/all/ and choose one of the keytables listed there
