The °§ key doesn´t work on an Apple Extended Keyboard II from 1989

[degraye]

I use an old Apple Extended Keyboard II (Swedish keyboard layout) where all keys work fine using Karabiner, except for the °§ key.

When I press the key nothing happens at all (I have also tried with three other ADB-keyboards and it´s the same problem on those as well, so it´s not broken hardware.)

And I can´t find out how to configure it in Karabiner, since I can´t find any option for that key at all in Karabiner.

It´s the key on the far left second row from the the top - just below ESC (i.e. on a US keyboard the key has the same position as the ~`key).

Can anybody please help me out?

• OS X version: El Capitan 10.11.6
• Karabiner version: 10.22.0
• Your Mac hardware: Mac Pro 2013
• Your keyboard hardware: Apple Extended Keyboard II with iMate ADB to USB adapter.

Background History: This particular keyboard I gave away in the late nineties and last year the guy I gave it to, had found it (about 15 years later) and was going to throw it away, but asked me first if I wanted it back. Since the Keyboard use an ADB-port, it wouldn´t work with a Mac made after the Millenium, so I just took it back to keep it as Apple memorabilia. But a while later I found the ADB to USB adapter from Griffin (iMate) on eBay and connected it to my Mac. It worked fine except for mapping the function keys to control iTunes, but Karabiner solved that and now it works like a charm (except for the key mentioned above), I must say this is the best keyboard I´ve ever owned and hopefully it will work for many more years to come :)

Btw I tried the key in Event Viewer but nothing happens there as well (but other keys show response in event viewer).

Here if the official doc. I am afraid if the event viewer can't see it you won't be able to change it.
