How to type accented characters on keyboard layouts without dead keys

Updated . Posted . Visible to the public.

Ubuntu comes with keyboard layouts like "Germany Eliminate Dead Keys", which are practical for programming.

If you need to type accented characters with such a layout, make sure to configure a Compose key. You can then look up which compose combo will produce the character you need.

E.g. you can type "á" by pressing Compose, ´, a.
