Oh and those French quotation marks that I'm using? They are not available on AZERTY either! Even though they are the ones that should be used in French.Īnother problem is that I'm a programmer and QWERTY is colloquially known as the programmers' Dvorak. Same goes with « ç », you need to remember to type the unicode key code with Alt+128 to type « Ç » otherwise you need to cross fingers that the autocorrect will catch it. A lot of characters are missing, for example you can type « é » but not « É » which is its uppercase counterpart. The big problem with this layout is that we can't type proper French with it. It looks similar to QWERTY, but some letters are swapped around, and some extra characters are added so that we can type in French easily - well at least that was the intent. As a resident of France, the official and widespread keyboard layout is AZERTY. Last edited by tsukiyoarts 18th April 2017 at 06:18 AM. In my case using ¥ would not work for security as it is what they use in Japan, the € would work though. If one only use such special passwords on their linux computer login and root, and not at sites accessed from other operational systems, then the risk of trouble decreases I think. In my opinion the downside of using special characters for password is which sometimes you may want to access something from another operational system, where or the character does not exist or is harder to input, and sometimes there is no time or will to also learn how to customize the keyboard on those systems.Īt command line interface mode (for emergencies), I think sometimes the keyboard custom layout may not be recognized and you will not be able to easily change that to input the correct root password for example. That is some pretty clever thinking mister. (By the way, I use the two characters into passwords, because the two are not on the standard keyboard layouts) In a similar way I add to ca, and us layouts, the EuroSign and the yen.
