One of the things I miss most from my Windows days was how drop dead easy it was to type Extended ASCII characters. Alt + code. That's all. Worked from any text entry window. If I wanted an enye (n with a tilde diacritical - I would demonstrate but I have no idea how from my Evolution window), type <alt>164. Done. Charts of Extended ASCII characters can be found in hundreds of places on the web. I always had one at the ready.
If there is a likewise easy way in Linux, I would like to be enlightened.
