It would be very nice, if I could enter an ä on the device.

Proposal: Pressing alt-a could open a selection menu (as with sym) in which I could choose my character.

Something similar to SigurdOS, after pressing alt-c:

But of course retro ;-)

One could alternatively implement the T9-Keyboard logic: Pressing the key "a" twice (in a short period) would give you an ä (or cycle through all options). As found in the Saitama firmware for the T-Deck.

implemented in v0.9.15

Accented letters on the device (#318): type the letter, then Alt+A (T-Deck) or the àá key (touch keyboard) cycles through ä à á â …, é è ê ë, ñ, ç, ł, ż and more. All of them now have a glyph on screen.
