You say that, but it is a source of endless annoyance to me that the Linux UK
Keyboard doesn't offer AltGr shortcuts for a c-cedilla. It makes addressing my
colleague François quite a pain :-/
Yeah well, if the whole english-speaking keyboard industry shares the feelings
expressed on this thread, it’s no wonder ;-)
I suggest you take a look at the US-international (not sure there is a
UK-international) input method,
that I think is available on all 3 OSes in one form or another, and that is
cool for that sort of things
(the keyboard I am using right now is a regular qwerty keyboard with no alt-gr
modifier)
and the other way around I can assure you that coding with a regular French
keyboard - the infamous AZERTY thingy - is something you don’t want to have to
do; you’d need alt-gr to enter a mere { - and digits come through shift- !
Oh, I have had to use AZERTY, while I was on holiday in Quebec. I quite
agree!
