I am quite disappointed that I actually bought 7.1 assuming the release notes were correct. Unfortunately, while there is some hacky 'language specific key mapping', it does not seem to be complete, especially given custom keyboard layout to start with. (some modifiers are missing etc.)
(The AltGr modifier from Nordic keyboards is missing altogether from the PC side of things -> while it is same as Apple key on apple side, I cannot figure equivalent on the PC mapping side. It is NOT Windows or Alt, nor is it Control.)
What is wrong with just passing along the keystrokes as-is, like in <= 6.0.5?
If using X-based underlying operating system, your best bet is to simply disable the hacky language-specific keyboard mappings, and use xmodmap to modify keycodes back to right values. e.g. in my case (Swedish PC keyboard), I need to do
# Defaults (in jessie)
keycode 49 = section onehalf section onehalf dead_stroke NoSymbol dead_stroke
keycode 94 = less greater less greater bar brokenbar bar
# Fix:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 94 = section onehalf section onehalf dead_stroke NoSymbol dead_stroke'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 49 = less greater less greater bar brokenbar bar'
to have some of the keys working right in Jessie, the default < and § swap does not work correctly.
However, I have no clue how to address it on Windows or OS X..
