udev-wireless-keyboard-layout-fixes

Attention: This won't work for keyboards connected via bluetooth!

As non-US keyboard layout user it often happens that the "^" and "<" keys are falsely mapped when using USB wireless receiver (I guess they default to some US standard). No layout settings fixed that for me, only this udev rule!

How to use

Find out your vendor_id and product_id

• Use lsusb
• Find your device
• The vendor_id and product_id are placed right before the textual name of the device in the format vendor_id:product_id (example: 046d:c548)

Edit the .hwdb file

• Download the .hwdb file from this repo
• Fill in your vendor_id and product_id (do not place the : in between, example: 046dc548)

Apply .hwdb file

• Move to your udev/hwdb.d/ folder (for me /etc/udev/hwdb.d/)
• sudo systemd-hwdb update
• sudo udevadm trigger

Done! The "^" and "<" should be swapped now and correspond to the correct hardware keys.
