Don't know about other non-France originating French keyboards, but here (Belgium) on most keyboards, Del and Shift keys are physical present on all keyboards (as are Home, PgDown, ...).
The keys are present too on French keyboards but are labeled differently. * The 'Del' key is labeled 'Suppr'. * The 'Shift', 'Enter', 'Backspace', 'Home', 'End', 'Page Up/Down' ones often have icons on them rather than text.
But what's written on keyboards tends to vary quite a bit from one model to the next. I certainly once had some French keyboards with keys labeled as 'Shift', 'Del', 'Entrée' or even 'Enter'. Some might have been old and not reflect the current usage anymore but I don't know.
The critical factors however is how Windows and/or Gnome refer to these keys: * In Notepad's Edit menu 'Del' is referred to as 'Suppr', as well as in Firefox's Edit menu on Linux. * In Windows 7's 'Services de texte et de langues' they refer to 'MAJ' as the key that unlocks capslock. * In Firefox's Tools menu, they refer to 'Shift' as 'Maj', as in 'Ctrl+Maj+Suppr' for instance.
Interestingly, among the 35 languages that Windows 7 Ultimate supports, there's no Belgian option (or any other French variant, and changing the location or formatting setting to Belgium has no impact). That probably means that users in Belgium or other French-speaking countries must be used to this terminology.
