Interesting. Years ago, I made a very similar custom Dvorak layout for French accents. The main benefit was that all vowels are located on the left side of the middle row.

With that said, I don’t think I’ve typed a French accent on a physical keyboard in almost a decade. For the most part (99%), I’ve stopped reading and writing in French. On the rare occasions I need to write French formally, I usually copy and paste the accents missed by the spell checker.
