Swiss German (CH DE) keyboard remapping including support for "ctrl alt del" and "\"

When using SharpKeys to edit the Apple Magic Keyboard 2 layout and use it with Windows 10, I needed:

  1. a "Del" key, to allow "ctrl+alt+del"
  2. the key with <> after the left shift, as on the regular CH-DE keyboard layout, e.g. on the Lenovo laptops

On the image attached are the remappings I did. I couldn't find a way to attach the *.SKL file that can be directly loaded into SharpKeys, but let me know if you'd like to have it and save some steps.

Once the keymaps are done (or the *.SKL file loaded), just "Write to registry", then log off and back on.

I do like the shallow key travel and stability, and the low profile on Apple Magic keyboard 2, and am happily using it at work.

(Well, it also helps that I don't need to get used to several different key spacing when moving between the Windows computers and the MacBooks, but I'm not telling that :) )

Thank you, @Randy!
