Swiss German Keyboard
add swiss german keyboard layout

Update: We have updated the option layout in Typefinity 2.0, such that in German, hitting 'Opt' pulls up keys for French letters on the right side in place of the German ones. This isn't exactly the Swiss layout but the user experience is similar: one modifier-key press gets you to the French letters.
Please post your feedback on this approach, and if we can do adjustments to the layout to make it better. Thanks!

CH layout please
I am waiting for German-CH layout (with Swiss specials like ss instead of ß and more…).
I read in a rating from Feb 2017 that a customer is missing this feature and the developer is investigaging it, but cannot find out if this feature is integrated now. -

In Switzerland you often write text including both german and french words. The difference between Swiss-German layout and Swiss-French layout is only at three keys: the Swiss-German variety has the German umlauts (ä, ö, ü) accessible without dead keys, while the Swiss-French version has the French accented characters (é, à, è) accessible in the unshifted state.
There is a big difference to the layout of Germany/Austria concerning all the shift characters. For example:
shift 3 = § at Germany, = * at Switzerland
shift 4 = $ at Germany, = ç at SwitzerlandThe exact layout of swiss keyboards is explained at:
