I have a similar problem with qemu (all versions including 5.0.0) on MacOS-10.14.6 (mac book pro 2017with touch bar).
Using -k fr-mac the "@"/"#" key is dead. Showkey doesn't detect the key. Moreover, the # and @ symbols are mapped on the "<" / ">" key and thus I miss the redirection operator in shell. Cheers, Olivier.
