The current 102-key portuguese Windows keyboard still does it. It has allows also any vowel+diaeresis and vowel+grave, though modern (post 1945) portuguese orthography uses, among those, only "�" (U+00E0) and (seldom) "�" (U+00FC). (IIRC, the portuguese Mac keyboard does this also.) This OT because I'm cramming all possible Unicode characters in my keyboard using Keyman, and I had to remap the whole thing onto a US keyboard layout, as Keyman went funny about the dead keys in the portuguese keyboard.
