After much swearing and gnashing of teeth, I created a keyboard layout for my own use but it may be useful to others.
The Mac French AZERTY keyboard is a pretty good layout and allows typing in quite a few more languages than just French, however it's also quite different from the usual 105-key PC layout. For instance the € is on key R, while the @ is on key ².
This keyboard layout tries to mimic as best as possible the PC French AZERTY layout, with very few changes (for instance I couldn't find the character ² in ResEdit's KCHR editor, so I kept the @ instead). Option is used for AltGr, eg. Option-' = { [left curly brace].
It isn't much but it saved me a ton of frustration when trying to type non-alphanumeric characters in SheepShaver.

Right now it is hosted for 30 days but if anyone knows of a free/permanent hosting service, I am all ears (all eyes ?).
TO INSTALL : just unstuff the archive, quit all apps, drag the layout to the system file and it should become available. Same in reverse to uninstall.
It also needs a few adjustments to the keycodes file in order to have a 1:1 layout: the order of modifiers should be Control - Command - Option - [space] - Option - Command - Control.
This is how I set them up (again, for Windows / SDL2) :
Code: Select all
224 54 # Ctrl Left --> Control
227 55 # Logo Left --> Command
226 58 # Alt Left --> Option
230 58 # Alt Right --> Option
231 55 # Logo Right --> Command
228 54 # Ctrl Right --> Control
Tell me if it works for you, or if it exploded your computer !
