It might be easy to *add* such keystrokes, but they are
not easy to hit. We are typists, not accordion players.

Again, why would anyone need those chars on a regular
basis? (Not a rhetorical question!)

If you, in certain *words* need those chars, how about
using abbrev to do that for you? So you type the word
without the special char(s), and abbrev fixes it as you
hit space (or some other delimiter): e.g., you type
Marquez to get Márquez.
