In Windows, set your Keyboard Language to US English and the Layout to
US International.

Now to get any accents you press the ' ` " ^ ~ characters (nothing
happens immediately), then the letter you want. So " and o gets you ö
and ' then a gets you á. Of course, in order to actually use one of
those characters by itself you need to type it and then a space or other
non-combining letter (like " then m) so Windows realizes you aren't
building an accented character.

Works like a charm and allows for easy English, Spanish, French, German,
and others simultaneously. Now, the o with the / through it that Jens
uses... I have no idea how to get that.
