Solving swapped keys ( <> key is wapped with \| key ) of the italian Apple Keyboard on Ubuntu (from the thread http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php/topic,383892.msg3872344.html )
! Direttive per mappare correttamente la tastiera Apple italiana su Ubuntu,
! cioè, correggere lo scambio dei tasti maggiore/minore con quello di backslash/pipe
!
! 49: codice del tasto maggiore/minore ( <> ) (situato a destra del tasto L-SHIFT)
! 94: codice del tasto backslash/pipe ( \| ) (collocato a sinistra del tasto `uno/punto esclamativo` ( 1! ) )
!
!
! I comandi scritti sotto, eseguiti da terminale sono:
! xmodmap -e "keycode 49 = less greater guillemotleft guillemotright guillemotleft guillemotright" && \
! xmodmap -e "keycode 94 = backslash bar notsign brokenbar notsign brokenbar"
