Question

How can I get the DigitalOcean Control Panel console use the correct layout of my MacBookPro (Swiss German) keyboard? Even though it is a Swiss German layout, what I get in the console does not even resemble the US one…

Tried the following (with reboots) to no avail, the console keymap does not even look like the US one

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration (MacBookPro, Switzerland, German)
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data (pc / qwertz / Swiss / German / Apple USB)

Thanks

Why are you using the console?

Poor answer. SSH works fine, but due to firewall settings at some locations I need an HTTPS-based access as well. And yes, there is a workaround, e.g. log into Cloud9 and use their terminal with SSH (works as well). But why would I want a workaround if this is an advertised feature of DigitalOcean?

I asked because some users are unaware of SSH.
