To test my understanding: You've got an AZERTY keyboard, and you'd like to be able to assign a star rating to a photo without auto advancing to the next photo. And you'd like to be able to flag a photo as "pick" without auto advancing.
There are two possible workarounds:
- If you have a numeric keypad, use the the numbers 0-5 on the keypad instead. There have been bugs reported with the color-label shortcuts 6-9 no longer working on AZERTY keypads, but I found a post that seemed to indicate that 0-5 worked for assigning star ratings.
- Use the Any Shortcut plugin to reassign the shortcuts for ratings to use the unshifted keys corresponding to the numbers on the AZERTY keyboard:

I've only partially tested this -- I don't have an AZERTY keyboard. But the plugin has a free trial.
