Hidden French Canadian Keyboard

The list of keyboards available under:
French (Canada) is missing one keyboard: "Canadian French"
There is another keyboard listed "Canadian French (legacy)" but it is not
the same.
As a matter of fact, the missing keyboard is actually there but one has to
select the "more" box and hunt for it. This keyboard should be moved to the
list of keyboards for French (Canada).
In my opinion, the "Canadian French" keyboard is the best one to use to type
in French on a 101 key US keyboard. It redefines a minimum number of keys and
includes the "slash" character which is indispensable for typing web
addresses.

Talking of keyboards, here is another suggestion:
It would be nice if the "On-screen keyboard" program were modified to
reflect the current logical keyboard, not the physical device connected to
the computer. This would help people remember how the keys have been remapped.
