It's the same kind of problem as the one we talked about recently.
We could fix it by making the input method not wait for the next char.
I.e. if you type in "a" it immediately passes "a" further and when you
subsequently type in "`", it needs to pass along something like DEL + à.
Making this work robustly is very difficult, tho.
