Stupid French Bastards, give me back my Question Mark!

I had a dream involving Montreal, so I decided to write my friend in montreal an email about it, and do it in French! Damn that was tough. I even switched my keyboard to French Canadian mode for inspiration, and I was shooting out "é" and "à" like crazy, but then when it came time for "?" I was screwed, cause that had been remapped to "É"! I had to search all over the place, finally found it at shift-6, aka "^". Crazy Frenchies. (oh yeah lots of other keys were also remapped but not quite as hard to find)

Tip from Montreal: use alt-shift! By default it's mapped to switching between keyboard layouts. Switching between layouts is way easier than trying to find moved keys. I still don't know wtf the ~ key is in frenchy mode, and just try programming! Yeesh. Way easier to switch.
