To each his own, but FWIW, I do prefer input methods that work everywhere. For this reason I don't use the latin-N input methods and prefer to use "compose + ' + e" to enter é. But it's often easier to add such special-purpose tricks to Emacs, especially if you want them to be custom-tailored to the specific mode in which you use it. And in the case of the OP, since he wants it to work in all Emacs modes, it's likely he'd also want it to work outside Emacs. Stefan
