Support for azerty keyboards

[KevinFalzone]

Hello,

Is it possible to add the azerty configuration to Aerospace?

"

Possible values: (qwerty|dvorak)

See https://nikitabobko.github.io/AeroSpace/guide#key-mapping

key-mapping.preset = 'qwerty'
"

In addition, numbers and signs are reversed on azerty keyboards.

Here's an illustration:

Also for azerty windows keyboards the configuration is as follows:

Can we add the following signs :

N	APPLE	Windows
1	&	&
2	é	é
3	"	"
4	'	'
5	(	(
6	§	-
7	è	è
8	!	_
9	ç	ç
0	à	à
---	-------	---------

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to have this preset added ?

Do we have a way to find the name of a key ?

In Hyprland, it's named like this:

# ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
# Switch workspaces with mainmod + [0-9]
bind = $mainmod, ampersand, workspace, 1
bind = $mainmod, eacute, workspace, 2
bind = $mainmod, quotedbl, workspace, 3
bind = $mainmod, apostrophe, workspace, 4
bind = $mainmod, parenleft, workspace, 5
bind = $mainmod, minus, workspace, 6
bind = $mainmod, egrave, workspace, 7
bind = $mainmod, underscore, workspace, 8
bind = $mainmod, ccedilla, workspace, 9
bind = $mainmod, agrave, workspace, 10

As someone who doesn't use azerty, the issue is unclear. I'm looking at the picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY

and I don't understand why placing the following in the config, won't resolve the problem

[key-mapping.key-notation-to-key-code]
    '&' = '1'
    'é' = '2'
    '"' = '3'
    "'" = '4'
    '(' = '5'
    '§' = '6'
    'è' = '7'
    '!' = '8'
    'ç' = '9'
    'à' = '0'
    ')' = '-'
    '-' = '='

    a = 'q'
    z = 'w'
    e = 'e'
    r = 'r'
    t = 't'
    y = 'y'
    u = 'u'
    i = 'i'
    o = 'o'
    p = 'p'
    '^' = 'leftSquareBracket'
    '$' = 'rightSquareBracket'

    q = 'a'
    s = 's'
    d = 'd'
    f = 'f'
    g = 'g'
    h = 'h'
    j = 'j'
    k = 'k'
    l = 'l'
    m = 'semicolon'
    'ù' = 'quote'

    w = 'z'
    x = 'x'
    c = 'c'
    v = 'v'
    b = 'b'
    n = 'n'
    comma = 'm'
    semicolon = 'comma'
    colon = 'period'
    '=' = 'slash'

This is useful, but users are asking for a preset, I think.

Yes, it’s possible to override the keymapping, but this shouldn’t be necessary. It can create confusion for AZERTY users who may struggle with non-functional keyboard shortcuts. Given that Dvorak support is already available, a similar approach could be used for this.
