Really struggling with keyboard layout in

Ideally, I´d want to press:
' + o

To get:
ó <=(want this)

But then if I press:
I + ' + m

I get:
Iḿ <=(dont want this!)

Instead of:
I'm

In Windows, the US International Keyboard layout does this. In Linux, I've tried more than a dozen English and Spanish layout and none seem to work this way. Testing layouts is a chore because there can´t be more than 4 layouts active at the same time.

@afreytes weird. When I set my keyboards in Linux (Ubuntu, Mint) it all works OK. Right-Alt + key. 🤔

@afreytes as far as I know, you either have to enter ' twice to escape the modifier or use the alt-gr intl keyboard. I have been using the later for awhile and works pretty good

@afreytes I'm using a standard US layout but have Caps Lock mapped as the Compose key. Then every key just does as it says on the label, and it's Compose, ', o or Compose, o, ' for ó.
Pro: language agnostic, you can type ç just as easily.
Con: more keystrokes if you type Spanish a lot.

@afreytes Maybe use another keyboard layout? Like LATAM or Spanish? You can change the layout without changing the physical kb. Of course, this would require you to better touch typing…

@afreytes Maybe look in the direction of AltGr and Compose keys, that'll should get you closer'n layouts.
