German keyboard layout problem: '<' and '>' keys wrongly mapped

[tyayers]

Problem description

I love Termux, it runs great on my Chromebook with Android. I live in Germany, and the German keyboard layout has one bug - the < and > keys don't work, which is a killer when writing HTML. When pressing the < and > keys, the # symbol comes instead (# and ').

Steps to reproduce

Switch to German keyboard layout, press < and > and see how # and ' symbols come.

Expected behavior

< and > keys produce < and > symbols.

I've similar problem with termux in chromebook. I've changed the keyboard layout in chrome os settings to spanish, and it works ok in all android apps, except for termux, where it thinks the input is all in US layout.

[tyayers]

For me the German layout works, but just the < and > keys are wrong.

[harenber]

Same here (Chromebook with a German keyboard), but exactly the other way round compared to @tyayers : can type <> but the +*~ key also generates <> . This makes it equally impossible to work without the ability to type a plus. None of the other Android apps seem to show that behaviour.
