How can one be able to type all contemporary letters in Dutch language on ubuntu or debian using ibus and a standard English qwerty keyboard? E.g., the letter "ó" in the word "vóór" (means "before"). Solutions meeting the following conditions are strongly preferred:

  • A Dutch input module (not German or something else).
  • Installable via a .deb package or Ubuntu package manager.
  • No mouse action is required to input these letters.

I am using a standard English qwerty keyboard with ibus input framework. Ibus Preferences -> Input Method -> Add has only a Dutch; Flemish - Belgian module available for Dutch that appears to be unable to achieve what I am asking for (although ö, ô and è can be typed).

  • Oh yeah, I somehow overlooked the compose key. I thought it was mac-specific but in fact the right Alt key does the same thing. With this knowledge in mind, ò can be input via Compose + \, o using the built-in Dutch input...Thanks for the prompt help! – Bill Huang Oct 15 '20 at 13:26
  • Yes, it does. I cannot close this as duplicate. Should I just delete this post? – Bill Huang Oct 16 '20 at 15:47
  • I've marked it as a duplicate, the system will take care of it eventually. – Carl H Oct 16 '20 at 18:30
