I didn't know about the caps lock method (I always have it remapped to ctrl) but still, it's more like a workaround than a true solution IMO. Using caps lock to capitalize a word doesn't seem very pleasant: "Étant donné..."

> I think it works on Mac OS too Indeed, same on Apple's "French" keyboard layout, unless you select the "French (numeric)" one, in which case caps lock produces numbers. Also, ` is a dead key, as is ^ and ¨, which works with caps too, but there's no dead key for acute accent (é). Other bits of trivia: On macOS, the numeric keypad (if any) is always num-lock'd. The Apple "French" layouts are vastly different from the PC ones (also available as "French - PC"), relying on visual symbolism for extra glyphs which makes them (sort of) easier to remember: option-n is ~ (which turns out to be a dead key) option-l is ¬, option-t is † option-shift-l is | option-( is { and option-shift-( is [ “smart” ‘quotes’ are on " and ' with option and option-shift there are ligatures too: shiftable æ œ ﬁ on option-a o and g question and exclamation marks are reversed with option too: ! -> ¡ and ? -> ¿ option-d is ∂ PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL, option-shift-s is ∑, option-m is µ, option-f is ƒ now guess how you do: © ™ ® £ gives # when option'd (even though there's a dedicated @+# key) shift-- is underscore, option-- is en-dash, option-shift-- is em-dash similarly, there's also (grouped per physical key: no mod, shift, option, shift+option): < > ≤ ≥ = + ≠ ± : / ÷ \
