Native french speaker here and I do the same: it's QWERTY for me. Also there's just sheer insanity: like in Belgium, which is a tiny country, you have different layouts. And "french french" layout is different than "french belgian" etc. It just makes zero sense.
So I just use a QWERTY layout.
And I just set up a compose key for when I need to write in french. But then the thing is: I can write without any special character and then use a spellchecker to instantly fix everything so...
- tough 3y agoI do the same qwerty intl US. It's about placement of;'\ :"|?>{}[] all nearby in locales its different, every programmer should just use intl us. mac lets you switch per app the locale too useful for writing apps
