> caps lock should be eliminated everywhere

Caps Lock is a necessary feature.

I need my ÉÈÀÇ and I never could get a compose key working in all inputs, Caps Lock is the only reasonable alternative.

If you're in need of AZERTY-specific keys and you're on a QWERTY layout, take a look at https://github.com/qwerty-fr/qwerty-fr.

It's a strict superset of QWERTY, and it enables entering e.g. è and È with altgr+e and shift+altgr+e respectively.

US-intl can do that just fine, though some people can't stand dead keys.

Whether dead keys are acceptable or not depends heavily on how frequent they are in the language.

The Danish keyboard layout has ¨, ^, ´ and ` on dead keys — those are used in foreign names and a few loanwords — but Æ, Ø, Å are real keys.

Having Å, Ø and Æ as dead keys would make as much sense as having V, K and J as dead keys in English.
