There is an input system imported from smartphones that is being implemented on some desktop OSes.
In my case it is OSX and it works like this: you choose a keyboard layout and then by pressing a key you know can have variants for 2 secs the list of variants is displayed along with a number under them. You can either use the arrows to select and enter the character or hit the corresponding number.
I just selected the Turkish qwerty layout and when I hit g for 2 secs I get ğ as a possibility. When I am in the US layout I don't get this possibility. In US I get èéêëēėę for e, ÿ for y, ûüùúū for u (and similar options of other vowels), I also get ßśš for s. If I do the same with a capital letter (holding Shift + the letter) I get all the possible capital letters for the selected letter, for ex. S offers ŚŠ but no capital ß.
That's a very convenient way to visually check and select characters.
