    On Gboard you can change settings to hold a character down and choose one of their non ASCII versions, as well as changing the language on your keyboard settings (but that’s messy), as well as using keymapper. Since you’re on pixel now, I heavily recommend using GrapheneOS.org . You will thank me later. If you have any questions let me know.

      The problem with the standard Gboard non-ASCII method is that you have to use the touchscreen.

      What the article mentions is that on iOS, you can hold E, then press 2 on the physical keyboard to enter É.

      When I used a Blackberry, I could type out longish messages without even looking at the phone, but I had to rely on autocorrect for the accents (which worked pretty well for Spanish). If this method works, I could do the same, but not relying on autocorrect.
