CentOS 7 On Macbook Pro : Keyboard Mapping Problem
Hi,
Some time ago I installed CentOS 7 on an older MacBook Pro for a client, since she couldn’t install a more recent version of Mac OS X on it.
The installation was a bit of an adventure, and I wrote a little article about it:
https://blog.microlinux.fr/CentOS-7-macbook-pro/
I made this installation about a year ago, and the only thing I changed since then is replacing Xfce by GNOME.
I have one remaining problem which seems a bit tricky. I live in France, and people use an AZERTY keyboard mapping here.
The keyboard works OK, except for one single key. On a french keyboard, in the lower left corner just next to the right Shift key, there’s a key that’s supposed to produce the “=” equal sign, and in combination with Shift, you get the “+” plus sign.
For some unknown reason, this single key produces an “!” exclamation mark, and the “paragraph” symbol. I tried all possible combinations, but there seems to be no way to get a “+” sign on this keyboard.
Any idea what I have to do here?
Cheers,
Niki

Long time ago but something like this maybe?:
Search the keycode with
xev
and assign a different output with
Xmodmap
From your description, I think you might be looking for one of the Belgian keyboard layouts:
