It seems that the keymap has changed, and I can’t seem to type a tilde or grave/backtick using that key on my keyboard. I have tried multiple keyboards and they all behave the same way.
I have checked my locale, and everything seems correct. I’ve tested different models and variants, and it has no effect.
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: us
X11 Layout: us
X11 Model: apple
X11 Variant: mac
When I run evtest, it recognizes the key as the grave key

When running “xev -event keyboard”, I get this
KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x35a, subw 0x0, time 7307007, (86,331), root:(1917,1349),
state 0x10, keycode 49 (keysym 0x60, grave), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (60) "`"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (60) "`"
XFilterEvent returns: False
When I hit the key on my keyboard, the character that shows up is “§”
This used to function correctly, and for the life of me, I can’t figure out when/why it changed.
