BTW the 5 dead keys of Windows US Intl are already on
Appleʼs *normal* US layout, along with the letter o-with-e.
US Extended adds 20 more deadkeys.

Indeed.
But "Faÿ-lès-Nemours" / "FAŸ-LÈS-NEMOURS". "lès" in French place names
means "near", typically followed by another city name or a river name.
In the case of "L'Haÿ-les-Roses", it's just that they have a famous rose

I was going to say that was a gross over-generalization, but that didn't
adequately express how gross it was. It's just plain wrong. Pardon my

The spell checker I was invoking was to allow fixing basic the typography
(e.g. the ae and oe ligatures contextually, it does not have to be a full
spell checker, but only concentrate on the typography, not the orthography,
most transforms should be limited to one or two characters, so that it is a

I have always wondered why Microsoft did not push itself at least the five
simple additions needed since long in French for the French AZERTY LAYOUT:
- [AltGr]+[²] to produce the cedilla dead key (needed only before capital
