The new official French AZERTY standard is pretty good too :

Hopefully the various administrations will start to push it to replace old keyboards...

There's also a BÉPO version, which would have been even better, but I guess that would be too much inertia to fight?

Seems weird to have specific keys for à é è when you could just combine them e.g. '+a '+e as is the case in the US international keyboards. Ditto for ç

That's because those are extremely common in French.

Also why ç was moved to C, since it's much less common.

And now since you can do both of these methods, you can finally write upper case properly in French on Windows !

I have friends in Europe, and they told me there is ZERO commercial availability: they can't pay Dell, Lenovo, HP ... to get desktops or laptops with that layout.

Can you confirm?

Not strictly zero :

Also I think that Cherry made some ?

But of course, until the State will start enforcing the norm, it will remain an amateur-only thing.
