The mapping works fine and the French text passes nicely in vim through
the spellcheck with ':setlocal spell spelllang=fr'. I have one last
question which is already off-topic:

The physical keys on our laptop Acer C720 are 16mm x 16mm in size (or
5/8" x 5/8"). Above each printed letter on the keys is a free space of
6mm (1/4"). The printing is white on black plastic. I would like to have
on the mapped keys printed the French char, for example

 +-----++-----++-----++-----++
 |    è||    é||    ê||    ë||
 |  e  ||  r  ||  t  ||  z  ||
 |     ||     ||     ||     ||
 +-----++-----++-----++-----++

Just like the printed '@' on the key 'q', only in the upper corner.

Any ideas about some physical solution, some adhesive which can be
printed?

Thanks
