I hope this gets implemented, but I also want to point out some problems of the
pure key-combination approach, e.g.

 - in french there are 3 types of accent for e (e with '/', e with '\' and e
with inverted 'v'; I do not have a french keyboard) and if I count the upper
case lettrs, we will have 6 possible combinations, definetily more than any easy
and logical key combination. (there are simply not enough key combinations using
e + ctr + shift for all this)
 - I often write in Romanian and German: there are 2 accents for a in Romanian,
and still one different in German; when I write in both languages simultaneosly,
I will need again 6 shortcuts for the various flavours of 'a', not easily done
with key-combinations.

Therefore,
 - when I write only in German (I have an English keyboard, like many), the
key-combination approach is probably easier to use
 - when I write in Romanian, both approaches seem similar in ease of use
 - when I write simultaneulsy in German and Romanian, (or I would have to write
in french, I currently do not write in french, but I know others who do), the
replacement approach is more powerful.

However, this issue is quite old. I hope therefore that the approach that can be
implemented more easily gets implemented to have something working. And I hope
it gets implemented fast.
