How to switch the comma to point on the numerical AZERTY keyboard

I need to enter efficiently a serie of numbers with a point (not a comma).

Unfortunately, the numerical part of the AZERTY keyboard is standard a 'comma'.

Of course, you can get a 'point' by using shift, but that's not very handy if you enter a serie of numbers.


How can I switch this?

One way is to temporarily switch to a QWERTY keyboard layout, such as the U.S. layout, when you need to enter numbers. After you're done, you can switch back to your original AZERTY layout using the input source menu in the menu bar. If you only have two keyboard inputs installed, you can press the Tab key to switch between them, which is quite easy.


Another method is to use text replacement, which can be found in System Settings -> Keyboard. You can set up a rule that automatically converts a comma to a period, making it easier to input numbers with a point.
