An 'ABC' keyboard layout option (i.e., a keyboard where the three rows of letter keys are arranged in alphabetical order from 'A' through 'Z') could significantly expand accessibility to people with severe vision impairment, especially older adults who have acquired vision loss in their later years.

There are 2 popular keyboard layouts for French language.

Besides swapping A Q and placing the period on shift semicolon, the AZERTY layout is incredibly idiotic for at least its placement of accents:

① the letter ù is at QWERTY's apostrophe ' place, very convenient to hit. The problem is that this letter is used in only one word, 'où' (meaning 'where'), and nowhere else. At the same time, the most common accented letteré is at key 2. I think it's more common than many consonants, often there are several é's in one word (préférée, réélu etc.)

② But if you hitShift+ùorShift+é, you get % and 2, respectively, instead of uppercase letters. To type uppercase Ù, you have to pressAltGraph+7, thenShift+u. There is no way to type uppercase É.

③ There's a dedicated dead circumflex ^anddiaeresis¨ key to the right of p. This is a good design: circumflex can be paired with any vowel (î ê ô û â), yet is not very frequent; diaeresis is much less common and it's ok to put in on shifted key. Then they decided to add dead key with grave` accent, doubling à è ù keys, and for whatever reason dead nasalization symbol the tilde ~, which is not used in French at all! But there's no dead acute accent´, used for the most common é letter.

Because of this design, many french people now think that uppercase letters are never written with diacritics, which is not right. That's sad.

How Do French People Type the Accents?

I asked a native French friend how French people type those accents. Here's his reply.

How do French people type accents?

most people use AZERTY's accents on the first row:

  • 2é
  • 7è
  • 9ç
  • 0à

for the rest there isùkey besidemand

  • ¨eë
  • ˆeê

Using Dvorak layout on OS Xi use the associative chars [`´¨ˆˆ]+[aoeui].

all the people i know, engineers/scientists tend to stick with AZERTY,while some geeks/coders are using QWERTY/Maltron.some authors use BEPO.

[see Maltron Keyboard]

[see Maltron vs Dvorak keyboard Layout]

when in online chat, do people bother to type é è à etc properly? or do they just use e a?

Depends on the person but most of the time they type the accents, even when it's not really useful like: 'télé'(TV)

it seems awful to type all those accents. Is there some auto-add-accent in word processor or such?
