I write quite a lot in Spanish (using a UK keyboard) so the Compose key
is a PITA for accents. I use the ' and ~ as dead keys, which is much
faster: áéíóúñ. However I still need the Compose to get ¿ and ¡ so I
just have to remember the combo (AltGr+_ for ¿, AltGr+! for ¡).

The downside is that I have to double up the ' (i.e. type ' ') when
writing an actual apostrophe, such as in my own surname :-)
