Not at the moment, AFAIK. We have the same difficulties with a french
keyboard and, in fact, I have mapped the "administrative" keys ( '{' and
so on) to accented keys (which are unused).

About the two keys that give the very same result be careful : in Europe
there is a 102 nd key which do not exist on US qwerty (right after the left
<SHIFT>) : you need to put the characters accessible via this key
somewhere else).
