Need to search for José González in Rhythmbox? Just found out about Sígur Rós?–Með Blóðnasir anyone? Had an essay on þe grammatical structures of Old English?
Being a native English speaker, I previously managed using the ‘Insert Symbol’ dialog, however lately I can’t seem to escape accents and letter forms. You too can be pretentious while using Instant Messenger by activating the ‘Compose’ key.
In Gnome go to System - Preferences - Keyboard - Layout Options then Compose Key Position.
There’s a handy table on Wikipedia that shows you how to use it.
(Actually Rhythmbox was updated a while ago to be accent-agnostic)
