On my french AZERTY keyboard, some keys are dead by default.
I suppose "if you're programming you'll be happier in the long run just switching to a US keyboard layout" is probably not the answer you're looking for? ;)
In response to your question, I'm not sure that TM can really do much about this; the dead keys are as far as I know intercepted at a lower level than TM has access to. If you want to expend some effort, you could try making your own keyboard layout using a tool like [Ukelele][1], based on the french layout, but which uses e.g. ⌥^ for the ˆ dead key.
