To type in letters with accents, i'm suppose to use a 'compose' key. My keyboard doesnt have a compose key. Any easy solutions that isnt like copying and pasting the letter from wikipedia? (lemmy.perthchat.org)

Changing keyboard layouts also sounds annoying considering it's not like i'm entering accents everyday

On windows it was like ctrl + alt + numpad 1 + . for accents or something, no compose key required

not sure what a compose key is, but I've gotten away with just using alt codes like these

What's your operating system?

On Windows operating systems, you can open up charmap then find what you want, select and copy to clipboard. Alternatively, in Windows 10 and 11, you can hold win key and tap the period key to open the emoji keyboard then scroll right to the "Latin Symbols"group to find letters with accents.

everyday

I think you mean 'every day' here. It's different.
