This doesn't solve the original problem but anecdotally, I'm a french writer and agree with Ben that dead keys are annoying. Azerty is not even good at inputting letters with accents and doesn't handle them in upper case. I long switched to QWERTY ANSI layout keyboards and github.com/qwerty-fr/qwerty-fr to be able to easily input french special characters without dead keys. Easier to type French text AND easier to type code (+ numbers), what's not to love? Note so my message can be more useful to a larger subset of the ML readers: despite its name it should also handle German, Spanish & Italian as well (it still uses a dead key for ~ though, sorry Thiago).
