Does toggling between input methods work for you?
I am not familiar with any of the European languages (other than
English). For example, with latin-1-alt-postfix as an input method, you
can input the character under question with a".
,----
| Input method: latin-1-postfix (mode line indicator:1<)
|
| Latin-1 character input method with postfix modifiers
|
| | postfix | examples
| ------------+---------+----------
| acute | ' | a' -> á
| grave | ` | a` -> à
| circumflex | ^ | a^ -> â
| diaeresis | " | a" -> ä
| tilde | ~ | a~ -> ã
| cedilla | , | c, -> ç
| nordic | / | d/ -> ð t/ -> þ a/ -> å e/ -> æ o/ -> ø
| others | / | s/ -> ß ?/ -> ¿ !/ -> ¡ // -> °
| | various | << -> « >> -> » o_ -> º a_ -> ª
|
| Doubling the postfix separates the letter and postfix: e.g. a'' -> a'
