TheBÉPO layout is an optimizedFrench keyboard layout developed by the BÉPO community,[1] supporting allLatin-based alphabets of the European Union,Greek, andEsperanto.[2] It is also designed to ease programming. It is based on ideas from theDvorak and other ergonomic layouts. Typing with it is usually easier due to the high frequency keys being in the home row.Typing tutors exist to ease the transition.[3]
In 2017, the BÉPO layout was the object of an ongoing standardization by the French organization for standardization (AFNOR), along with an improved version of the traditionalAZERTY layout.[4][5] However, the use of the BÉPO layout, as well as that of the proposed new AZERTY layout, remained marginal.
On April 2, 2019, the norm had been published by AFNOR along with the improved AZERTY keyboard.[6]
