I believe you can do this with the on-screen keyboard! If you’re using Windows, I think that can be accessed with super+u (but I haven’t used Windows in a long time so I apologize if I misremembered or if this is no longer accurate).
Or better yet, start using the US-international keyboard layout. You press the accent you want (', `, ", ~, …) and the letter you want it on, and boom. Writing normal versions of those symbols requires a space after writing them, but that’s easy to get used to.
It’s pretty much the default setting in the Netherlands.
Try this instead if you have a number pad on your keyboard:
Hold alt and type 0233 and then release the alt key.
For my favourite, type : then hold alt and type 0254. 😛
I have not had a number pad on my keyboard for some time :( I remember this arcane magic

I’ll give this a shot!

For most letters RightAlt-[The letter] will do it for me.
That sounds easier than remembering the arcane number associated with an accent.
