Or better yet, start using the US-international keyboard layout. You press the accent you want (', `, ", ~, …) and the letter you want it on, and boom. Writing normal versions of those symbols requires a space after writing them, but that’s easy to get used to.
It’s pretty much the default setting in the Netherlands.

For most letters RightAlt-[The letter] will do it for me.
That sounds easier than remembering the arcane number associated with an accent.
I tried this for a bit, until I came into work hungover one Monday and for the life of me couldn’t figure out why my password wasn’t working.
(May have been the Canadian multilingual layout, I don’t remember)
I use US International with no dead keys, so ` ’ and ~ all work normally, but you can do right-alt (alt gr) + a to make à and so on.
