One thing I hate about US keyboards is that they don’t let me type my French special characters by any memorable strecth – what’s the dead key for the cedilla again? (ç)
One thing I hate about French keytboards is that they have all the punctuation keys messed up… which is particularily painful when trying to write code. < and > share a single key! [ and ] require THREE fingers! (you’d better give un on using arrays!! :p)

I just found the perfect tool for create new keyboard layouts on the mac: Ukelele ! :)
Ukele easily lets you reassign characters to keys with any hot key combination and it also lets you create dead keys (multiple keypress sequences to create one character).
Now one question remains: which keyboard should I start with: a French AZERTY or a US QWERTY keyboard? (All mac keyboard layouts here)

Keyboard Layout For Mac Os X 10.10
I'am trying to get the current keyboard layout in a Mac OS X 10.4 app. I need to detect when the current layout has changed (the user clicked the flag button).
I have followed the code from https://nanohub.org/infrastructure/rappture-runtime/browser/trunk/tk8.4.19/macos x/tkMacOSXKeyEvent.c which seems ok for me and works perfectly in 10.5 & 10.6, but in 10.4, it only gets the system language and no change is detected.
What's the matter with 10.4?
Thank you in advance!
