Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 19, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2019 Try going to Keyboard Preference, change keyboard type Switch to ANSI to ISO or vise versa, whichever that's working for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denkteich Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 The only keyboard that I can find in the selection that is iso is a Spanish keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denkteich Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 The dialog to change the type starts, i press next, then i have to press the key next to the left shift key. I can press the < key as many time s i want, it is not recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 20, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 20, 2019 @denkteich I had to add a German keyboard to do this since I have a US keyboard. So this is how to switch to ISO keyboard with ApplePS2Controller.kext Open Keyboard preference, under Keyboard, enable Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar In the menu bar, click on the keyboard and emoji viewer icon and select Show Keyboard viewer Now in Keyboard Preference, select Change Keyboard Type, click continue Now instead of using your actual keyboard, you use the virtual keyboard to select the key right / left of shift key using your mouse to click it You should now be able to select ISO keyboard. If you look at the virtual keyboard, you still don't see the <> key, so just press any key, the <>will appear. I don't have a German keyboard, but I think this should work after selecting ISO keyboard. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denkteich Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi Jake, thx for the tip, but it didn't work. I pressed the < key and it looks like the keyboard is recognized. I started Testest, the key is still dead. After this I wanted to try it again, but the "Change Keyboard Type" button is not there anymore. Any suggestion how to get the button back or start the assistant manually? cheers .d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 20, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 20, 2019 Plug in an USB keyboard, it should prompt you to setup your Keyboard type again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 21, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 21, 2019 Temporarily replace ApplePS2Controller with VoodooPS2Controller. Reboot and switch back. Have an USB keyboard and mouse available just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denkteich Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 No luck. After switching back and forth, the button came back. I pressed the button, nothing happened, no assistant came up. After closing the system settings and reopening it, the button was gone again. Is there any plist that can be edited? Can the assistant be started manually?
