You can also do dead keys in reverse where, instead of having the diacritic key as a dead key that one pressed before a letter key, you have the letter key as a dead key that you press before the diacritic key. That way, your key order is the same whether a system handles outputting multiple characters or not, and you can use precomposed characters when available if that is a requirement.
