Well, they *are* the foundation of understanding.

Anyway this discussion has become too confusing...

As a programmer everything is or should be in
Anglo-American and the ; [ ] \ keys/chars readily
available. I suppose qwertz or qwerty doesn't matter
if that holds true. For example the Swedish layout is
qwerty to but has those important keys hidden (shift)
as those keys are the three special Swedish chars.

So it is a matter what to do as a non-computer person,
when still using the computer.

As for me, the compose key is optimal as the odd chars
out are only three, so to have the keyboard layout the
same for both languages is great. How many odd chars
there are in the French language I don't know; and it
is also a matter of how much you are a computer person
and how much you are a non-computer person using
the computer.
