QWERTY to AZERTY Keyboard Issue
brucine Posted messages 24411 Registration date Status Membre Last intervention -
Hello,
The laptop I use for classes has a QWERTY keyboard that I switched to AZERTY...
The problem is that the QWERTY keyboard has fewer characters than the AZERTY keyboard (notably all the accents), and therefore in AZERTY some keys are missing (while they appear on the QWERTY keyboard)
This is particularly true for the less than and greater than signs (<>) present on the QWERTY keyboard but not on the AZERTY...
Since I am doing HTML in class, this is a (big) problem, I am losing considerable efficiency...
Is there a way to remap some keys that are useless to me (like Pgup, Pgdn,...) so that I can have my two symbols <>? (Or an Alt + something code knowing that I don't have a numeric keypad)
Thank you!!
I am attaching photos of my keyboard in QWERTY and AZERTY to illustrate my points.

Good evening,
Any leads here?

Hello,
A physically AZERTY keyboard has, in principle, the same number of keys as a QWERTY keyboard; they are simply assigned differently.
If the keyboard has become AZERTY due to hardware change, the question does not arise, so we assume that the language of the keyboard has simply been changed at the software level and stickers have been placed on the keys for identification.
In these conditions, the keys in question definitely exist; the question is where they are and accessible through which key combinations.
If there has now been a software remapping of the keyboard through a number of utilities, the technique is quite difficult precisely because it is also necessary to remap the key combinations.
Even if it's not very practical, it might be quicker to enter the required characters via the appropriate Unicode found in the character table, though saving time and memory by recording them in a text file, or alternatively buying an external USB AZERTY keyboard.
