To type in letters with accents, i'm suppose to use a 'compose' key. My keyboard doesnt have a compose key. Any easy solutions that isnt like copying and pasting the letter from wikipedia?

Changing keyboard layouts also sounds annoying considering it's not like i'm entering accents everyday
On windows it was like ctrl + alt + numpad 1 + . for accents or something, no compose key required

not sure what a compose key is, but I've gotten away with just using alt codes like these
