Yes, but I already sacrificed it for mouse buttons. It't just perfect for
that because it's so close to the touchpad, and normal apple keyboards
don't seem to have this key, so it's basically unused...

Well, consequently, "@" would be AltGR+Q, instead of alt+L.
I'm all for intra-linux compatibility here, but as soon as the keys'
behaviour differs from their labelling, I'd consider that a bug.
I guess we don't have to argue here, just provide both flavours and let me
choose another keymap than yours ;-)
