I suppose that this layout ships with the Windows emulation that can be run on a Mac.
Itʼs hard to find through especially when I canʼt see the layout or find on the internet. 
Thanks anyway. They seem to be always first, and then, other wendors canʼt copy nor 
invent something else people wonʼt like.

Then this is ported from the Apple US layout, where these characters are in the same 
places. However that does not include correct spacing, as required for French.

Presumably because it is interesting for many locales worldwide accustomed to the 
US QWERTY layout. That tends to prove that Mac users accept changes, while 
Windows users refuse changes. However I fail to understand such a discrepancy.
