This used to be on my googlepages page, but apparently that’s going to be shut down, so here it is now.
clavier-cf.zip

Download, unzip and stick the two files (cf.icns and cf.keylayout) in /Library/Keyboard Layouts. Then go to System Prefs, International, Input Menu and check off “Canadien Francais 0.9″.

I did NOT make this keyboard layout, I found it somewhere on the web but the original site is now gone.

Voici le clavier Canadien francais pour Mac OS X. C’est l’equivalent du clavier “Canadian French” ou Francais (Canada) sous Windows. Lien de telechargement ci-dessus.

   Je voulais simplement te remercier pour ton excellent travail, j’ai cherché longtemps avant de trouver ce “layout” sur ton site. Tu as fait ma journée.

   Merci

   Thanks for posting this keyboard, I desperately need it, being a windows switcher. However, after installing it and selecting it, the keys show in the right positions in the “keyboard viewer” but when I press keys in a text processor, no text appears. It’s like the keyboard becomes inactive.

   Heard of that bug before? were u able to make it work on ur mac?

   Using snow leopard here.

   Thanks for any help you can provide. I’m just unable to get used to the other Canadian French keyboard. Years of reflexes… Can’t help it.

     Haven’t got Snow Leopard yet, but I had to log off and log on before the keyboard layout worked properly in 10.5.8.

   Thanks for that! I was getting crazy trying to adapt to the Mac’s CSA keyboard layout. I use Windows at work and didn’t want to have to have to learn yet another layout!
