- School-Cotton 3y agoYou are right, thanks.
- kergonath 3y agoThe AZERTY layout is nothing if not inconsistent.
- nicolaslem 3y agoFor this specific example, it is actually quite pragmatic. "é" being used many orders of magnitude more often than "ë" in French, it makes sense for it to have its own key.
- paledot 3y agoAlso, French has no other character that takes an acute accent. For the same reason, ç isn't typed with a dead key on French AZERTY.
