Jean-François,
With the code revision we are now examining, DBT will not prevent you from
using:
,nb;:!
But there's no guarantee that this will work with your keyboard.
The code we are now considering essentially allows use of all the keys in
the home row, the line above the home row, and the line below the home row,
except for Shift, Tab, Caps Lock, and Enter. These keys remain reserved.

Hello Peter & all,
That's right, there was indeed a little mistake, I meant cxwmù*, and not
wxcmù*. Well, I realize that I have often been heard about an sdfjkl
emulation, regardless of the meaning of the letters, which may explain my
confusion. :)
However, should the "*" be the only one added, as for some other keyboards,
a "right" combination could be a quite different one... So what about the
punctuations we find on the lowest line of an AZERTY keyboard:
<wxcvbn,;:!
in order to allow, for exemple:
,nb;:!
Best regards,
J.-F.
