Changing keyboard layouts also sounds annoying considering it’s not like i’m entering accents everyday
On windows it was like ctrl + alt + numpad 1 + . for accents or something, no compose key required
On Windows operating systems, you can open up charmap then find what you want, select and copy to clipboard. Alternatively, in Windows 10 and 11, you can hold win key and tap the period key to open the emoji keyboard then scroll right to the "Latin Symbols"group to find letters with accents.
