Using Arduino Pro Micro as a Rubber Ducky AZERTY layout

I'm trying to use an Arduino Pro Micro as a cheap Rubber Ducky. I want to use it on a PC that uses the Belgian AZERTY layout.

The problem is that Keyboard.h is not designed for AZERTY keyboards. When I use it on a PC set to QWERTY, it works fine. However, on AZERTY, some keys get mapped incorrectly. For example, typing "notepad" ends up as "notepqd". I could work around this by manually adjusting my code, but it becomes much more cumbersome when I need characters like : or /.

I’ve tried 4–5 other libraries that supposedly support AZERTY, but none were compatible with my board or my version of the Arduino IDE (2.3.6).

Does anyone know a reliable way to make Keyboard.h (or an alternative) work correctly with AZERTY layouts on a Pro Micro?

add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
```
put returns between paragraphs
for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
_italic_ or **bold**

How to Tag

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.

complete the sentence: my question is about...
use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
favor using existing popular tags
read the descriptions that appear below the tag

If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:

combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. arduino-uno), up to a maximum of 35 characters
creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
