add swiss german keyboard layout

We are probably going to do this but have been trying to fully get the newly-introduced phone layouts fully settled and debugged first. Sorry about the delay.
For reference, we currently understand the main differences of Swiss German from German keyboard to be:
- Put French é,à,è in place of Ö,Ä,Ü
- Remove ß (or possibly put a special ‘ss’ key in place of it
- Add ç
- Largely different shifted number row

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:
