I have tried both. And both are unsatisfactory for one reason or
another. I am currently using Scancode keyboard mapping, with which I
get the above problem.
emutos is etos256us.00.09.10.img, version 0.9.10.

checkkeys reports that both keys are returning the correct ASCII codes.
listkeys did nothing useful:
charles@hawk:~/versioned/hatari/tests/keymap$ ./listkeys
Sorry, SDL2 doesn't support iterating over all keys.
charles@hawk:~/versioned/hatari/tests/keymap$
I did install and use keytest.prg. It reports that the two keys are
returning the swapped scancodes.

Thanks. I had to dig out an actual 520 ST to map the characters to the
scan codes. | is 43 (to the right of Return), and ` is 41, above the
return key.

"When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of
the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but
the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one
presents a state of society under the protection of just and
well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government
of brute force."
