Insert both characters if a dead key combination is not recognized (e.g. 'a → á, 'b → 'b)

When I use any variation of English, US international (with dead keys,altGr dead keys or alternative) on my Linux Mint machine I always encounter this behaviour. When I press one of these keys: ' " and then follow them with a 'non-accentable' character like a [ or a b no output comes out at all. Whereas in Windows US-International it would print [ or b. If I wanted to type this I would have to escape each dead key with a space instead of with any 'non-accentable' character. This is annoying when programming (not really, but I trained with the Windows 'Qwerty International' on typing.io and switching back and forth between the systems is irritating). Is there any way to change that so it works like in Windows?
