Is there a good English/French (or English/French/Spanish) layout?
I did some excursion in alternative keyboard layouts, but the English layout I tried was clumsy for French (biggest offender was typing "ue" with one finger) and the French layout I tried was clumsy for English+programming, and that was one of the reasons I stopped trying to learn them.
Currently I use US qwerty when writing English or programming and the Canadian French keyboard (which uses qwerty for the basic letters but moves some special characters and replaces them with accents) when writing French.
(There's actually at least two different Canadian layouts for writing French, both using qwerty for the basic letters but differing on whether accented characters are typed using sequences of keys or a single keys)
I think switching between layouts isn't that big of an issue, as long as all the basic letters are in the same place. So the English/French layout could actually be a family of layouts, as long as the basic letter layout is made to be good enough for both languages.
