Hello,
I'm using KDE 5.9.2
Debian 9

When I'm on the console outside of KDE, the azerty keyboard in French works like a charm even if my Debian is in English language. So Debian is well configured, English language + French azerty keyboard.

In KDE it works partially as the characters &é"'(-è_çà)= are not where they should be or not available like _.
So I tried to choose, from the KDE the system setting, a French keyboard layout, but it is worth because, then, the keyboard switch in qwerty. There are several azerty keyboards, they all show a correct azerty layout preview, but do not work in my reality.

Why KDE do not use the Debian setting? I'm probably missing something can you help me?

Thank you

Patrice

Did you select the AZERTY keyboard as default or as an additional one? I have no problem selecting another layout (using the Swiss German, Swiss french, German, UK and US layouts). Make sure you save your changes in the system settings.
