Sigh. Yet another keyboard with the legacy AZERTY French layout and no option for the standardized (AFNOR AZERTY+) layout.

Does that show that the uptake for AZERTY+ has been below expectations so far?

Relevant context for others:

TIL that "it is practically impossible to write French correctly using a keyboard that has been bought in France", says the country's government. Because the AZERTY layout makes typing certain accented letters difficult (especially capitals), many don't use them, changing the language

I think that is not the problem of a physical keyboard but about Microsoft Windows still not being ready for the desktop after so many decades.

I've been able easily to write accented letters on linux since forever it seems.
