Key '@' (Keycode 49) and key '<' (keycode 94) are inverted on macbookPro keyboard - Ask Ubuntu

i running ubuntu 16.10 on macbookpro , keys 49 , 94 inverted... resolved problem xmodmap, won't apply permanently. after research found xmodmap no longuer use ubuntu xkb instead. searched in configuration of xkb , found in config file /usr/share/x11/xkb/keycodes/macintosh lines :

xkb_keycodes "badmap" {     <tlde> =  94;     <lsgt> =  49; };  xkb_keycodes "goodmap" {     <tlde> =  49;     <lsgt> =  94; }; 

this problem, 2 keys inverted. wondering if can't change layout configuration param badmap.

i accidentally stumbled upon this patch, led me solution:

open /etc/default/keyboard editing , set:

xkboptions="apple:badmap" 

at next reboot keys switched.
