AZERTY Layout
AZERTY Layouts
AZERTY layout is used for French, used in France and Belgium.
There 3 azerty layouts:
- Belgian AZERTY Layout
- French AZERTY Layout
- New AZERTY French Keyboard Layout (2019)
AZERTY differs from QWERTY Layout , by swapping
- A ↔ Q
- Z ↔ W
- M ↔ ,
and add other accented characters.
In French, z always occur adjacent to a or e. And w is almost never used. Z is at the end of almost half of the french verbs when they are used with the “you” subject. (2015-01-01 thanks to Nic Falcon)
However, the swap of that 3 pairs of keys is idiotic. They do not improve efficiency. AZERTY layout should stay QWERTY.
