Wrong keyboard map. Change keyboard map.

AZERTY is not made for programmers, it's made for secretaries typing
French letters.

If you want to program, use an american QWERTY keyboard, where all the
special characters used by the programming languages designed by
american programmers using american QWERTY keyboards are easily
accessible.


\f

Otherwise if you really insist on it, you can translate the mappings,
with:

(keyboard-translate ?\& ?\!)
(keyboard-translate ?\é ?\~)
(keyboard-translate ?\" ?\#)
