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.
