The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator extends the international functionality of Windows Vista by allowing users to: Create new keyboard layouts from scratch Base a new layout on an existing one. Jan 7, 2017 - Over a decade ago Alex Hern switched from PC to Mac and never looked back. The current latest version of the operating system, Windows 10 (confusingly. Was set up in, resetting my keyboard to a US English layout.
I recently started running windows 10 on my MacBook air via bootcamp and for the most part the included keyboard compatibility driver has done a good job of making windows usable. I have however noticed the @ and ' symbols have swapped places. Even weirder is that the 2 and the ' symbol (the regular functions of both keys) are mapped correctly.
I tried re mapping via the registry and this does fix the special functions but in turn swaps the correctly mapped regular functions. Has anybody had a similar experience, know what is causing this or how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated. I don't think these simple differences between the US and British PC keyboard layouts are really 'bugs'. Normally you fix such mismatches by just making sure your keyboard settings are correct. The missing backslash is normally caused by the fact that everyone in Europe uses a keyboard with one key more than that used in the US, and the happens to be on that one in the British PC layout. In any case k3nzb's problem is most likely that his Windows 10 is currently using the MS UK layout and he needs to switch it to US or 'British (Apple)' if there is one.
A Macbook is always going to have a keyboard with 2 and @ on the same key, even if it is a UK model. If I was what Microsoft seem to think is true of all Mac users using their Mac RC client a dumb user then I might have for example my Mac set to use a UK keyboard layout and the PC set to use a US keyboard layout. However I have both set to the UK keyboard layout and I have seen this bug for literally decades on various products and I know it affects all non US keyboard users.

It is not a user setting issue. It is dumb programmers assuming a key is in the same position on all keyboards.
' The missing backslash is normally caused by the fact that everyone in Europe uses a keyboard with one key more than that used in the US, and the happens to be on that one in the British PC layout.' Yes exactly, the software should not assume that keyboard layouts are the same at both ends. If it was a setting issue then when I run RDC 2.x on a Mac it would fail in just the same way as RDC 1.x, 7.x and 8.x do. RDC 2.x however works without making a single change in settings on either the Mac end or the PC end. Note: There are no keyboard mapping settings in the Microsoft RDC software so I have not magically managed to configure RDC 2.x correctly and messed up al the other versions. It is a dumb programmer bug.
I am so fed up by this issue because it keeps being done by so many different companies and affects so many Mac users except Americans. See this long list of reports just for Microsoft RDC, remember it affects nearly all other software that involves linking Macs and PCs. Apple Footer.
