If you have some key printed with "<" above ",", you need to press and
hold down the so-called "shift key" (possibly labelled with an
upward-pointing hollow arrow rather than "shift") while pressing such
a key in order to get the upper symbol printed on the key.
So if you hold down shift and press ",", you get "<". The same holds
when also pressing Alt.
