Thanks (stupid but even though I've looked at the key-caps before, I didn't realize that I could use the option key with the standard US keymap to get accented letters).
Definitely helps BUT the behaviour isn't quite what I want. In the Windows US-International layout, you can just type ' followed by a for á or shift-6 (^) followed by a for â instead of something less intuitive like option-e followed by a or option-i followed by a (don't mind having to hit an extra key (option) so much BUT really don't like that it's option-e instead of just the ' key (even if it was option-', I'd be a lot happier)).
Also, don't like the inconsistent keystrokes for ¡ (option-1) versus ? (option-shift-?) (would rather both require just the option key or both require option-shift).
Am probably just being overly picky and asking for a bit too much but the US-International keyboard layout is one of the (few) things I really miss about Windows (still, your suggestion is MUCH more usable than what I was doing (switching between keyboard layouts)).
