Description
When creating a new Linux VM using the built-in Apple virtualization, the keyboard mapping is incorrect.
I use an Apple French mapping keyboard. And UTM will map the **#**/**@** key to the **<**/**>** key located next to the left SHIFT. The top key **#**/**@** under ESC is unrecognized. No problem in other virtualization like Parallels, VMware or in UTM using QEMU instead of the Apple virtualization.
On the screenshot below, the mapping is correct, but doesn't match to the real behavior.
**Configuration**
* Until UTM Version: 4.2.5
* macOS Version: from macOS 11 to macOS 13
* Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): Intel
