Hello,
I have such a keyboard switzerland type. Unfortunately it behave like a standard german qwertz keyboard (example: @ at the Q key) and not as it should (example: @ with "alt-gr" + "2").
How to change the setup?
Keyboard norm is there under "Schweiz" https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tastaturbelegung
Exact the same can be seen there https://www.ebay.de/itm/274738223876...6&toolid=10001
I have tried

Code:

/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure console-data

with parameters
swiss
german
latin1
dont change anything in X or at the browser.

Code:

/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

with parameters
105
german (swiss)
standard
no compose
no

dont change anything in X or at the browser.
Any help is welcome how to make the changes activ and permanent.

Don't you have a GUI? I'd never set up a keyboard at the CLI with a GUI available — as we say in England, why keep a dog and bark yourself?

Ok. found it.
In the gnome setup GUI (for wifi, bluetooth, background, messages, search, region&language, audio..), choosing input source "German(Switzerland)" and deleting the "German(Germany)" in "region&language" made it.
