What are you using for typing foreign or accented characters? If you're using it for one language in particular, it might be worth adding a second keyboard lay-out and be able to switch between them using, for example, left-shift and left-alt. I've done that a few times with Greek (which uses a different alphabet altogether) and though you'll have to know (or be willing to learn) which keys correspond to which characters, after a while it'll prove to be the fastest option. It's been a while and I forgot how it's done, but it wasn't too hard. And I bet in the recent distributions, there's a configuration option somewhere. (This reminds me of an, apparently, girl who went to the local library to check her email but couldn't get into her webmail as she used a Ł in her password...)
