Comment(by chihyu):

 Right now I am having trouble typing < and > in the console, because based
 on the microsoft keyboard mapping, there should be a key to the left of
 "z" that type < and > (when holding down shift).

 The XO keyboard does have such key to the right of "up", but in the
 console I cannot type anything with that key.

 This problem make it difficult to perform {{{ echo text > file }}} in the
 Spanish console.

 Replying to [comment:6 chihyu]:
 > I don't have a regular Spanish keyboard to test with, but after a few
 trial-and-errors, I can now type tilde with "alt gr 4" on the XO machine
 in the console.

 > In the console, the key mapping when alt gr is pressed is similar to
 what's listed at
