Set up a Compose key on your keyboard. I use right alt, but if you have a Microsoft k/b, you could use the right m/s key. Then when you want a foreign character, you make it as you go. ¿Dónde encuentro una guía de térrminos Matemáticos únicos para el año? You hit compose then single quote then the vowel. For the ¿ you hit compose, the ? twice. For ñ it's compose, then ~ then n. It works for capital letters also, and all kinds of accents, for German, French, Italian, and foreign currencies ¥, £, ¢, fractions-- ½ ⅓ ⅔ ¾ degrees: 75°F, and so on. Look up Gtk Compose Table in Google. Your distro ought to have a way to make some key a compose key. the compose key can also be used as its original function; it only works as compose for about a second.
