could be wrong but i think this is the case.
Broadly right. ISTR some rare keys might exist in FR that don't in US
(or the other way around), but essentially yes, FR vs US is a label and
combination issue.
Maybe you are referring to something else or more-specific, but as far as I
understand-
Common international key-boards have 1 more key (105 if full-size) than common
US-key-boards (104). (Other differences can be placement, currency-sign available,
and other symbols or special letters.)
The additional key can even be found on a lap-top which uses a condensed layout
without separate number-pad (and with only one key for "Super"/"Meta"/"Win",
grumble grumble), and is otherwise the US-lay-out.
The additional key is normally just left of the bottom row of letters.
Sample labels on it are double angle-quoters << >> or (as a second key with) |
and \
It looks like lay-outs of US plus additional key, are used by the Romanian
programmers' lay-out, and the Slovak QWERTY-lay-out
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY).
It is nice to have the additional key, for non-default key-bindings
("shortcuts", "hotkeys"), and for non-default lay-outs which are provided by
"software".
