Summary of the issue:

On French fr-fr keyboard layout, the magnifier zoom out gesture NVDA+shift+_ does not exist: "" is on the "8" key and the name of the key is "8", not "".

Description of user facing changes:

NVDA+shift+) can be used as magnifier zoom out gesture. On fr-fr keyboard layout, it is located next to the zoom in gesture.

NVDA+shift+_ remains assigned, for other French keyboard layouts (fr-ca, fr-ch).

Both gestures work on fr-be layout.

Description of developer facing changes:

N/A

Description of development approach:

Updated gestures.ini file.

Testing strategy:

Tested with various French keyboard layouts.

Known issues with pull request:

fr-be layout have 2 valid gestures for zoom out.
That's not a big problem and in general, the fr gestures.ini is made in priority for French (France) layout, where there are probably more French users.
