I use bépo, which is a keyboard layout designed for French. It’s not perfect for programming but I’m used to it and it’s still much better than Azerty or Qwerty. Someone is building a new layout named optimot. It is optimised for French and English, and also taking programming into account. The author is doing a good job to test his layout with various kind of usage. I will probably learn it once it’s stable. Vim is fine. I did remap a few keys in my Vimrc about 15 years ago, to get the shortcuts physically placed in the same way than a Qwerty layout. Some text editors emulating vim can read my vimrc directly, or I have to remap the keys for them as well. It takes a little time once in a while but it’s worth it.
