    Every French-speaking qwerty user should learn about https://qwerty-fr.org/. qwerty layout, all French special characters, even the ones that the standard azerty layout does not have, and no dead keys.

    Other Latin alphabets might have something similar idk. If you write in Cyrillic, glhf I guess.

      Although it’s clear that Azerty manages to be considerably worse than Qwerty, the latter is still a terrible , keymap, designed to work with limitations on the first typewritters. A modern keymap designed for ergonomics and efficiency (like Ergo-L, don’t bother learn Bépo nowadays) is immensely better, although it needs a learning and adaptation period.
