    Hello,
    i can't use following characters on my german macbook pro keyboard < > .
    In place of these characters always comes following characters ^ ° .
    Is there any solution out there?

    Using a swedish keyboard layout yields some erroneous characters

    Using a swedish keyboard layout also yields some erroneous characters:

    < becomes §

    > becomes 1/2

    § and ° do not output anything

    trying to write @ by pressing alt+2 does not work (nothing happens although the alt-key seems to work fine for other combinations). The only option to write "@" is to temporarily switch to the english keyboard layout by pressing shift+alt, and then press shift+2.

    is this forum for bug-posting only? I mean it would be nice to get some feedback, or do they think i preorder software where i dont know if i am able to type in an @ ?? Thats ridiculous.
