The capital sharp S in now part of the official German orthography

We are German. We have rules for everything. DIN 2137 declares that the upper case ß should be typed with 'ALTGR + H'. On most Linux distributions you can type it by activating CAPS-LOCK and type a normal ß. I also think that this is the best solution for this problem.

Thanks. Do you know how to fix this on Linux (Ubuntu in particular)? When I press ALTGR+H I get ħ, not ẞ.

AFAIK the official keyboard driver for the DIN 2137 T2 layout is avaiable only for Windows. I think you have to rebind the keys manually...
