[Ubuntu-ch] Kubuntu Swiss-french keys

[Daniel Stoni]

Hello Pablo

welcome on the list and thanks for the interesting piece of inquiry.

Since I recently gave support to spanish speaking people (latin america)
I try to give you some hints. But you might know already: my
recommendation is to use spanish layout - in particular as many
characters you need for french typing are a subset of the spanish charset.
If you are able to type blindly this is OK anyway. Otherwise you might
either use a desktop keyboard or stickers to pick onto the keyboard.

As an alternative, you might also like to deal with multiple keyboard
settings - through keyboard shortcut, you may switch between the
keyboard layouts configured, depending on the language you are using.

Regards, Dani
