How to type accent marks in FF?
I want to be able to type accented characters while I'm using a mail tool in Firefox. I searched and found the Office/Word method, but that doesn't work in FF. When I searched this site for "type accent," nothing was found.
I don't need a special language pack, I'm still typing in English. I just want a way to insert an accented character now and then.

Does holding ctrl+alt while pressing the character work?
A possible method is to switch a a keyboard layout like US International that supports dead keys.

First, I don't use that search engine. Second, and more importantly, I rarely need to use the accents, so I don't want to switch keyboard layouts. I was hoping to hear of some special characters that worked.
There is always the old way with Alt+ number to enter accented characters, but this requires to know the keycode and other ways include copy/paste from CharMap. On Linux its its easy as there is a compose key that allows to get such characters easily.
