regarding the problem with gpio from sysfs, seems that udev took time to change rw permisisons for user and group, then CL is faster and cannot open files under /sys/class/gpio/gpioXX/value or other

my rough uneducated guess is that the wiring isn't compatible due to needing more combinations for letters (such as à é ê µ and more that are directly available on azerty), despite sharing the same number of wires as qwerty

maybe in some software there'll be a lookup table keyed by scan codes, and scan codes would be different.. but I never dealt with different keyboard layouts so not sure that is the case
