And once again, the "standard to rule them all" dream * insert relevant xkcd strip here * , finding a keyboard layout that would allow easy typing in French and all France's languages (Breton, Basque, etc) and dialects (Catalan, Provençal, etc). Impossible task to bring both easy typing and support for all of those. It seems to me that it's a problem (or bunch of problems) that already has a solution(s). I'm right now using a QWERTY layout under Linux. I can code and type English directly, use the compose key to type in French, German and Breton and use a keyboard input (currently fcitx) to type in Chinese. Add to this the fact that you can easily input complex signs that you wouldn't find on keyboards like µ or €. And all this is actually pretty easy to use. I'm sure there are equivalents in Microsoft and MacOS. Why look further?
