+// type for e.g. german ssharp which is capitalized SS.
+// CHARACTERISTICS:
+// It is FOUR_LEVEL with the exception that the fifth level
+// is mapped to the Lock modifier.
+// If other modifiers are used, the Lock state is ignored.
+// DETAILS ABOUT GERMAN:
+// The capital form of ssharp (called sharp s) only exists for
+// completely capitalized Text, not at the beginning of sentences
+// or nouns (nouns have a captial letter at the beginning in german).
+// The ssharp key, to the right of the zero key, takes this into
+// account and has a questionmark mapped on shift-ssharp since
+// normally no capital version is needed.
+// When typing with active capsLock, this key type is needed to
+// output two capital letters S because this is the only german key
+// whose capital letter is not the same as the one typed with shift.
