Sadly it is not really a German page I just translated with Babel Fish . . .
if you or another German speaker has a moment, double click to edit . . .
Would your solution or similar solutions work with other languages?

In general, yes, it works with every keyboard map from the kbd package. Barry seems to have stripped out a lot of the keymaps (1,2M -> 145K), which is good, but de.map seems to be a "historic" layout, de-latin1.map corresponds to the standard now.
Still, I have problems entering the special characters in the applications mentioned above and additionally with the euro symbol in all applications (font problem?unicode?), which I will try to solve when I have time again.
