Question

My MacBook language is set to French, but the physical keyboard layout is US English, therefore I am using a US layout in layout preferences.

Now, this is the problem:

The above image shows the keyboard shortcuts for the Viewer (Aperçu). The problem is that these shortcuts are totally useless when using any layout other than French AZERTY (or maybe also French Swiss Romand (QWERTZ)). Is there something I can do about this (other than change the language, or create a custom keyboard layout)?

It is worth noting that all Apple applications have this issue, notably Safari, Mail, etc.

Was it helpful?

Solution

So, I asked the question on Apple Discussions, here.

There is a solution, but requires one to manually reassign the shortcuts, one by one. Not ideal, but it's a workaround until Apple decides to take macOS development seriously again.

Anyway, the solution is here: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH25377
