How to set keyboard layout for a macbook Pro?
I'm running Ubuntu in VirtualBox on my Macbook Pro.
I chose a 'French (Mac)' layout (see below).
Unfortunately, the character | (vertical bar) does not seem to be mapped!
Usually, in Mac OSX, I get it by pressing: [alt]+[shift]+L.
How can I add a vertical bar (any key combination would be ok) to this keyboard?

This Mac keyboard layout has 3 major flaws: [return] • doesn't permit to type correct French, ex. missing: É, È, Ù… [return] • doesn't permit to type Unix commands, missing: , | [return] • many of the key mapping are too cumbersome to be memorized.

@danielAzuelos É is not missing : first, press down the Caps Lock key and then press any other letter key to have it capitalized (including accentuated ones). For and | just press Alt+Shift+/ and Alt+Shift+L respectively.

Here is my "commandline solution" (Ubuntu 12.04 server on MacBookPro 10.9 within VirtualBox 4.3.8) :
sudo apt-get install keyboard-configuration
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
Keyboard-configuration choices for MackBookPro French keyboard:
-> MacBook / MacBookPro (Intl)
-> French
-> French (again)
-> Right Alt (AltGr)
-> No Compose Key
It seems keyboard settings works fine and are keep after reboot.
--- EDIT Thomas ---
You should install all the console tools to make it work
apt-get install console-data
apt-get install console-setup
apt-get install console-locales
apt-get install keyboard-configuration
