This idiocy carried over. The recent layout update makes dead accents more accessible:

But I haven't seen much adoption yet.
- zorked 6y agoThat button to the right of the P that contains four different forms of dashes is... interesting. Even more if you consider that the minus sign there is not the character - that is used by every programming language.

I like the mac international keyboard layout, but it still only provides for 4 of those: the non-breaking hyphen and the "proper" minus sign are lacking. I like that the "new azerty" provides for pretty much every diacritic, even those which are not in use in french.
