Re: [9fans] azerty [french] keyboard support

["Boyd Roberts" <boyd@planete.net>]

on another note i remember asking rob, a long time ago,
why, on plan 9, the accent was typed before the character,
because that's not the way you write them.

anyway, with every azerty keyboard i've seen they're all
like that -- totally counter-intuitive.

but it can always get worse.  would you like to match
the beginning of the line with a regex?  well as soon
as you type ^ it goes into 'i'd better wait until i
see what the next character is' mode.  this is a real
pain when you want to match:

    ^a
    ^e
    ^i
    ^o
    ^u

etc...

so you type ^ <space> <char>.

same problem with ~.
