Ah, you just redefined them the hard way around. I guess that will work.
You missed the 7 key. AE07? That one had the backtick (`) with AltGr.
I can't test AB10 because I have a pc101 :)
I have mixed feelings about the key TLDE (the one left of "1").
The key is very rarely used because both in MS Windows and in X it has the
meaning of cedilla/diaeresis, and the Croatian alphabet does not include
these diacritics. Granted, if someone wants to type e.g. German or Turkish
words, it's useful. Otherwise, it's useless.
On my old keyboard, which dates from 1993 and has both English and Croatian
engravings on it (the good old days :), the engravings on the left hand
side of that key are ~/` for English, and on the right hand side they are
_/- for Croatian. I think that's actually a mistake, since the actual common
_/- is on the key just left of my right shift key. But it probably
illustrates how confusing that key is on the Croatian keyboard layout. :)
We should probably make some sort of a poll on linux.hr to figure out if
that key's worth changing to the English version...
