Physically swiss french and swiss german keyboards are identical. The
keymap only differs in wheter you have to press shift for äöü or éàè. I
was also looking for a good swiss mac keymap and thought about creating
one. But because my solution worked most of the time I did not get to
actually do it. Here is what I use:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "de_CH(extended)"
EndSection
and "keycode 115 = Mode_switch" in .xmodmaprc
This makes the key labeld "alt" behave like in macos for key
combinations (eg. alt-g is @) and the apple/option key works as real alt
(eg. for switching consoles, closing windows, ...)
