Changing to legacy layout has some drawbacks, e.g. less assigned symbols. Since I can enter most symbols easily (such as 'ø' and 'ç', as described in https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Sonderzeichen) with the standard keyboard layout I found another solution that works fine for me to be able to type 'ñ', too: remove the key binding for the right "windows" key (if set so, that's the case in cinnamon) and activate the compose key in keyboard options (as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey). To type 'ñ', I now type [right windows key](release), [AltGr/right alt]+[+](release, nothing is displayed yet), [n](release, 'ñ' is typed).

This changed with a recent update where it stopped connecting to the next typed character. After considerable effort I found "Deutsch (veraltet)" ie. "German (deprecated)". There used to be a way to tweak layout settings which also disappeared so there's no way for me to change this behavior.
