>From what I can tell, the keys on the bottom row of a German Macbook Pro
are as follows. A picture of yours may help to clarify:

Fn - CTRL - ALT/Option - CMD - Space - CMD - ALT/Option

PS the alt key is also know as an option key on macs.

Also it looks as though the @ symbol is on the key next to the Return
key

No "@" symbol with MacBook Pro

Bug description:
Binary package hint: pommed

Testing with Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4. Manually changed System -> Preferences -> Keyboard to "Apple: MacBook / MacBook Pro (Intel)", but no change. Apparently Ubuntu does not know what to do with the key second right to the space key (the key right next to the space key is the "Apple" key which also is right left to the space key) which should probably do the job of the AltGr key.

Fn - ctrl - alt - Apple key - SPACE - Apple key - strange key which probably should do the job of AltGr - < key etc.

Note that normally on modern Macs you get the "@" symbol pressing some key + the letter "l" key. At the moment, with Ubuntu, things work neither the Mac way nor the usual PC way. (I suppose it would be useful to use the PC way.)

This goes for a German keyboard tested. I assume it's the same with other languages' keyboards (English keyboards have th "@" on "q", too, right?).
