Description Brion Vibber 2015-10-03 07:38:38 UTC
Description of problem:

On my MacBook Pro (13" Retina early 2015) the backtick/tilde key produces angle brackets ("<" and ">") instead of the expected backtick/tilde.

As described here there is a workaround:
* https://stdio.sangwhan.com/backtick-tilde-problem-macbook-air/
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1245081

Can temporarily resolve for a single boot with:

sudo bash -c 'echo 0 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/iso_layout'


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Linux orac 4.2.2-300.fc23.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 30 01:36:26 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


How reproducible:

Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 23 beta on MacBook Pro
2. Open terminal
3. try to type "`"

Actual results:
