OK, I have a Swedish keyboard and i'm not sure I can help. |

However, I believe you have the *pc* german layout since "de-latin1" is |
| 27 |
found under |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
"usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1.map.gz". |

To have it like on mac os x, I don't know since I have come from a pc background and prefer to |
| 32 |
use the pc layout (since I am used to it). Also I use gentoo 90 % OS X 10% |
| 33 |
of my time. |

I think there are solutions if you search under |

perhaps with words "german keyboard mac". |
