or you could partially redefine your keyboard and associate for example the sequence shift-alt-N to dead_diaeresis. typing it will alter the key you press after it, like in äï.

the file to edit is

Code:

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51

in mine, I have edited the fourth column of "english_base" section.

these are the accents I use most:

Code:

    key <AB04>	{ [ v,  V,  slash,  dead_acute	] };
    key <AB05>	{ [ b,  B,  backslash,	dead_grave	] };
    key <AB06>	{ [ n,  N,  quotedbl,	dead_diaeresis	] };
    key <SPCE>	{ [ space,  space,  at,  dead_tilde	] };

so for example typing a space after the dead_tilde gives me the tilde (quite necessary on a unix machine!). but I also have |%{}[] and there's enough space for things one does not really need...

this works with the most recent firmware (10.2010.19-1).
