The way I have done it is by giving some use to one of my windows(tm) keys. I added this to my keyboard's section in xorg.conf:
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin" What it does is make the right windows key a sort of magic key, the compose key. This does pretty much what it sounds like it does, it allows you to compose more complex letters, like those with accents or whatever, the keystroke chains are pretty obvious, here are a few examples (because I have some time on my hands...blah): rwin - n - ~ = ñ rwin - a - " = ä rwin - A - " = Ä rwin - ^ - 0 = ° rwin - o - ' = ó rwin - o - ` = ò Ok you get the point. You should also know that this only works under X (though I think there's a way to do it in console...), and that the keystrokes need not be simultaneous. That is, you don't still have to be holding down rwin while you press the next key in the sequence, you can just press each individually and it'll know what you want.
