Press-and-Hold for Alternative characters

[Le0-7n]

Problem

The composer key used in Linux has a steep learning curve and involves a lot of memorising. In my experience, this system has reduced my productivity a lot coming from macOS.

Proposal

Implement a way to type alternative characters by pressing-and-holding the keys on a keyboard.

Prior Art (Optional)
