    French, I’ve tried bépo because AZERTY (the French standard since forever) seriously sucks. AZERTY is missing lots of diacritics and corresponding capital letters (including very common ones), lots of opening and closing characters are inexplicably separated, … And the same bullshit as QWERTY, no thought behind where alphabetical characters should be beyond 19th century’s “the mechanical arms of my typewriter should not cross too much”.

    However I couldn’t commit to bépo and gave up. AZERTY is too ingrained in my mind at this point.
