[SOLVED] Strange console keymap

Hello everyone! I have a problem configuring my keyboard on my new laptop. It is a Lenovo U330 with an Italian keyboard layout.
I can summarize the problem this way:
- In desktop environment (like Mousepad, Firefox, ..) everything works perfect.
- In terminal (guake with zsh, xfce4-terminal, ...) I miss basically the right-most column of keys. CANC PAGUP and PAGDN return a ~ and HOME and END do nothing.
- In console (doing CTRL+ALTL+F2, ..) when pressing ESC, CANC, ARROWS, PAGs, HOME, END, I get strange chars.
This is my 'localectl status':

System Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
VC Keymap: it
X11 Layout: it
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

How can I uniform those layout so that they emulate the present Desktop experience? I tried to google but I couldn't find anything.
Thank you

Have you configured Zsh to use those keys? See the wiki page.

Yes you're right, that was the problem. I installed 'oh-my-zsh' and it solved the problem...

Installing Oh-my-zsh doesn't solve problems, it just shifts them.
