I'm using the other variation called "English (international AltGr dead
keys)".  The AltGr variant allows to type international characters by
just using AltGr with a key, for instance AltGr+q = Ã,  while keys like
` ~ " ' still return immediately with this very character instead of
waiting for the next key to compose some other character.  Try it.  It's
much better suited if, for instance, you're coding and writing in
English most of the time and if you need international characters only
infrequently, IMHO.
