Sorry for being off-topic, but since there are a lot of French people here this information may interest some. of you.

I’ve been using this layout for years and I absolutely love it. I couldn’t be happy on a computer without it:

alt gr+key to write the red characters. Doesn’t remove any character from the standard AZERTY layout.

(note the available æ, Æ, œ, and Œ that led me to create this topic [Suggestion of a slight improvement regarding French search processing ("œ" and "æ" special characters) - #8](https://meta.discourse.org/t/suggestion-of-a-slight-improvement-regarding-french-search-processing-oe-and-ae-special-characters/218973/8))

I also used the [Microsoft keyboard layout creator](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=102134) (a quite fantastic tool) to change a few things on my layout.

For example, if I do alt gr + \<, it now writes the `…` character. Not useful on Discourse since it automatically converts more than two dots in this character, but useful in any text input that doesn’t do it (so, the vast majority).
