[IC] Belgian Azerty keyset (ANSI)

[jetro]

Creating this topic to see if there's any interest in a Belgian Azerty keyset. I've been searching geekhack, Google, and other fora for days now for a keyset like this but to no avail. I got in touch with a mod here who is willing to set up a group buy if there's enough interest. As the title mentions, it's an ANSI layout, which looks like this:



More details about the keyset itself:

• ANSI Belgian Azerty lay-out
• PBT keycap with dyesublimation
• Design is yet to be determined

We're going to need a total of 10 people (so 9 more) to make this group buy happen.

Maybe you could join Ivan thick PBT groupbuy as an other layout.

That's actually the mod who I pm'd ^^

ANSI and belgian azerty don't mix. You are missing a key, the one that has <>\ on it, next to the left shift.

The factory which produces the keycaps is only able to produce ANSI layouts. They do mix, but as you said, you lose 1 key. Pretty good compromise if you ask me cause this is probably as close as you'll get to an Azerty layout on PBT keycaps.

Unless you actually need that key.

As for most ISO layout, if using ANSI keyboard one way is to edit the keymap file in OS and spread the missing key characters out across the rightmost punctuation keys next to the right shift as Alt Gr layer. So in this case for example you would
Alt Gr key , to get <
Alt Gr key ; to get >
Alt Gr key : to get \
In many layout people are used to using Alt Gr sometimes extensively anyway... so what is a couple extra Alt Gr combos so as not to loose any characters?
