Vietnamese speakers pointed out to me that this is unwieldy due to the
massive usage of accents in Vietnamese and to the common usage of input

oo => o with circumflex
aa => a with circumflex
es => a with acute accent
etc...
Do some similar input methods exist for Unix? Is somebody working on this?

 

  There may be an XIM for Vietnamese that works this way, but I'm not 
aware of
one. BTW, for gtk2 applications, you may try 'VIQR' gtk input module.
Hmm.. I've just tried it under gnome-terminal and  it appears to use
a different input method than the one you described above.

Another BTW, it should be easy to write a key mapping table for Yudit
that implements the scheme above (it's likely that yudit already has it)
