      Yes, because in french you need the special characters more often than numbers

        no, I don’t think we need & more often than we need 1

        and for accents, the canadian french qwerty keyboard handles them just fine; é (by far the most common accented letter) has its own key, all the other use dedicated dead keys. it works well!

        and you can write accented uppercase letters using the CF qwerty, on azerty you need a combination with AltGr for that (because using just shift types the numbers…)
