Have you tried a Compose key? At least under a GNOME Linux desktop, this is very easy to enable: open Settings app, select the "Keyboard" tab and click "Compose key" (under "Special Character Entry"). You can configure a key of your keyboard to be a "Compose key" which makes it insert various special characters when you type this key followed by one of many predefined sequences. For example: Compose ' e → é Compose ` a → à Compose " i → ï Compose > a → â Compose , c → ç This is incredibly convenient to type all sorts of unusual characters without changing your keyboard layout (for another example, I typed the arrows above with "Compose - >").
