    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.

      Oh I think on swift key you can press a button for it to switch, other than that you would need to use keymapper and press a combination of keys like the new AI button and ‘e’ to get your desired version. However if you select Spanish as your language your keyboard should automatically correct the spelling after anyway most times lol
