I am using a Mac with an Apple Wireless Keyboard - French.

I have installed Ubuntu as virtual machine by VMware Fusion. The keyboard setting of Ubuntu is as follows:

And the preview is not exactly as Apple Wireless Keyboard - French:

In Mac, we can type and [ by:

= Option ⌥ + Shift ⇧ + :

[ = Option ⌥ + Shift ⇧ + 5

However, it doesn't work under Ubuntu. Could anyone tell me how to type and [ under Ubuntu? Also, is there a keyboard other than French, that I currently set, which fits better my Mac keyboard?

I'm setting on a macBook pro - same keyboard pretty much!

I've switched my layout to My Language [Macintosh] - now i can make:

[ ] ← RightAlt8 & RightAlt9

{ } ← RightAlt7 & RightAlt0

← RightAlt+

So it's pretty much the best solution i found, as it makes it manageable by doing it as windows normally do, but it's sorta off from the normal mac way.

On a side note i have my Cmd button mapped with Ctrl and made some changes so it functions almost like Cmd button in OS X. - This way i lost the Super key but it's more to my liking ;)
