I'm using a MacBook Pro with a Swedish physical keyboard but with a U.S. layout defined in System Preferences. However, the tilde (~) and plus-minus (±) keys seem switched. The following key combination should produce a ~:

Because the mapping in System Preferences says so:

But it results in a ± symbol.
It seems these two keys (± and ~) are switched somehow. How do I make them work as shown in System Preferences?
