The Canadian French layout uses both dead keys (accent keys you press before a letter to type an accented letter, red in the diagram) and AltGr combinations (where you press the key with the AltGr key held down to produce the indicated symbol, blue in the diagram). AltGr is not marked on this keyboard; it is typically the Alt key on the right.
If you own a similar keyboard, you can simply add the Canadian French layout to the English (Canada) language (or French (Canada) language, if you like, both will work the same). This is how the layout diagram looks like: Canadian French layout specifications. This layout, designates the right Alt key as a modifier key.

To change your keyboard layout fast, just install setxkbmap with: sudo apt-get install x11-xkb-utils. After this you can always change the keyboard layout with: setxkbmap us.

It seems that the question is too broad in its initial form that said "Latin diacritics" beside "French characters": some QWERTY keyboards that have Latin characters with diacritics lack part of the French characters. The US International with dead keys in Linux (US international in Windows) has all the French characters, but US International ...
I am trying to set up French keyboard layout on my computer (so I can type these accents) and I learned that France and Belgium use a different AZERTY layout instead of QWERTY. There's a Canadian option which seems much more similar to the one in US. So for American French learners: which keyboard do you use?

LArlesienne. •. The QWERTY keyboard layout, the most popular English layout today, was designed with typewriters in mind. Because pressing two adjacent keys in quick succession often caused typewriters to jam, the QWERTY layout was designed to spread letters commonly used together in such a way as to minimize jamming.
The Canadian French Legacy is a third french-canadian keyboard layout, it's the old Canadian Multilingual Standard used between 1988 and 1992. The Apple french-canadian layout is based also on the CSA/ACNOR layout (CAN/CSA Z243.200-92), it's close to the Canadian Multilingual Standard but doesn't have a proper Group 2 key, like the Canadian ...
