I went with using the compose key, because of the lack of information
about which keys to use (as we're discussing - quick key show utility),
and I can usually figure out ways to type the usual culprits with the
compose key (because it picks on common typewriter symbols that look a
bit close to the accents you want to add to another character).
e.g. hit compose c then comma produces ç
hit compose ? then ? produces ¿
I'd seriously like to see a new style of keyboard which includes more
punctuation marks (dashes, proper quotes, different spaces, etc) on
dedicated keys.
