There are ways to configure dead keys in Linux to mimic the behavior they have in Windows ?
This document describe how it works in Windows:US-Int'l Keyboard Layout to Type Accented Characters
The difference between Linux and Windows dead keys is highlighted in bold:
> When you press the APOSTROPHE (') key, QUOTATION MARK (") key, ACCENT GRAVE (`) key, TILDE (~) key, ACCENT CIRCUMFLEX key, or CARET (^) key, nothing appears on the screen until you press the a second key. If you press one of the letters designated as eligible to receive an accent mark, the accented version of the letter appears. **If you press an ineligible key, two separate characters appear.**
In Linux when you press a second key not eligible to receive a accent, the first key pressed is lost. This reduce the typing productivity, a lot.
