Type characters with accents like in Windows

When instead of use Ctrl + Shift + U to enter characters with accent you want to type them like normal in Windows (first put in an accent and the the letter you want that accent on) you need to read on.

Note: this tip was tested on a Dutch version of Linux Mint. Keep this in mind for other derivatives of Debian and some translation errors by me.

Steps

• Open your "Start" menu and open the "Keyboard" under "Preferences".
• Click on layout and add a new keyboard layout by clicking the "+" button.
• Search for "English (US, International, with dead keys)" and click add.
• Delete the other layout(s) if you don´t need them (anymore).
• Close the window.
