Problem description: 

Inputting international characters using non-local (eg. US) keyboard layout.  Languages with would benefit include: Magyar (Hungarian), polski (Polish), Spanish (español) and many more.

Implementing keyboard shortcuts throughout the LibreOffice suite (Writer, Calc, Base, Impress, Draw) would assist in editing documents in other languages where the language specific keyboard is not available.

Examples of keyboard shortcuts for variations on the letter 'o':
Ctrl+' o = ó
Ctrl+: o = ö
Ctrl+" o = ő
Ctrl+~ o = õ
Ctrl+` o = ò
Ctrl+^ o = ô
Ctrl+/ o = ø
Ctrl+˘ o = ŏ

Additional shortcuts include:
Ctrl+° a = å
Ctrl+Shift+& a = æ
Ctrl+, c = ç
Ctrl+- d = đ
Ctrl+Shift+& s = ß
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+? = ¿
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+! = ¡

Replacing the letter with another letter should enable the variation on that letter to work for all the lowercase letters of the alphabet.

To have a variation on an uppercase letter, the key sequence need only have an uppercase letter, eg.
Ctrl+' O = Ö
Ctrl+" O = Ő

Thank you for your wonderful office suite.
