Instead of tilda/quote key prints §/± mac os US keyboard layout

Hello,

Please advice how I can fix or workaround this.

Thanks!

What glyph do you get when you type shift + 3? If it’s £, that’s the UK layout, not US.

It is #.

Layout is definetly US (not international).

When you click the + to add an input source, do you see two entries for U.S.?

Also, do you have any files in ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/?

Or in /Library/Keyboard Layouts/?

There are two US’s - regular and PC (international).

Both Layouts directories are empty.

I’m afraid I’m out of ideas, then. This should be affecting any keyboard connected to your mac, so it’s a good question for Apple tech support.

One thing you could try is creating a new user account on that machine, and see what you get there.

Thanks, will try new user and will contact Apple if any.

A little experimentation with Karabiner-Elements, and I’ve determined that the key that produces the section sign (§) is non_us_backslash. So, you can probably use Karabiner-Elements to work around the problem, but maybe there’s something else you can try. In System Preferences -> Keyboard, try the Change Keyboard Type… button, then enter Z, /, and select ANSI. Maybe the keyboard type got set wrong. I’m dubious that would have changed the keymap displayed in Input Sources, but maybe…

The issue is that mac os cannot identify the keyboard. maybe this causes the issue?

Changing to ANSI helped.
Thanks a lot!

Is there a way to have keyboardio auto identifiable on mac?

Out of curiosity, do the layouts in Input Sources now have the correct symbols?
