- Yeah, I use a French-Canadian 'bilingual' keyboard which comes with 3
- KCHR resources: US, Canada Franc,ais, and ISO Canadien. Something which
- caused me some puzzlement at first is the fact that cmd-option-space
- cycles through them (I couldn't figure out why my key assignments were
- changing apparently at random). Anyway, on a French-Canadian keyboard,
- '?' is shift-6, which means that all the applications enabling help with
- cmd-? fall over... At least on the PB170 French-Canadian keyboard, as
- opposed to my ancient Mac Plus, the '/' is available without using
- the option key--I guess that's progress. But assigning the same code to
- two different keys, I would assume, is a bug in the KCHR resource itself
- and not just an inconvenience.
