Your keyboard layout is most likely set to English (US, international with dead keys)
. Open Region and Language in System Settings and change the Input Source to English (US)
or whatever matches your actual keyboard.

work the way I want, but that's not a layout I'm used to. I tried all of theSpanish (Latin America)

Spanish (Latin American, eliminate dead keys)

was to do nothing if pressed, but output an accented letter if a letter was pressed after, and output the accent and a non-letter if a non-letter was pressed after. This is what I've been trying to accomplish. – Kurzd Jan 03 '17 at 02:55 -
@Kurzd: Maybe you should return to
Spanish (Latin America)
and live with pressing a space between^
