so... how come alt-gr does exactly one accent per letter? is there some language where that is sufficient?
@noiob i don't understand D:

@candle Addendum: dead keys come from typewriters where accent keys wouldn't advance the paper, which is a cool solution imo

@candle Try using " instead of '... ë
@sendoshin ééáé - not on this :(
@candle That's very odd. You may have to play around with it some more, then... Because you're right: it makes no sense not to support other compositions.
@candle Only one accent per letter?
You mean like only é, ī, à, ö, but not ê, ì, å, õ?
Or like é, è, ē, ë, but not ë́ or ė̄?
The former should work just fine if you have composition set up correctly.
I'm not sure the latter would work with composition, since you're not entering a single character but a letter followed by two or more combining accents.
@Kimiko_0 just, in windows, on the uk keyboard, i think it's not possible
@candle Oh, Windows. Hmm, not sure how that works. Maybe try selecting some kind of "international" keyboard? Though I'm not sure that wouldn't move a few characters or switch £ for $.
@candle compose key > dead keys > AltGr
