Current status: I don't see any issues.
Dead keys are working as expected. In French and Spanish, you have some
"direct access" dead keys (for example you press ^ then e to get an ê).
You need to press the dead key twice to get the ^ symbol.
In the US-International layout, dead keys are in the "OPT" layer. This
means you need to do for example:
* OPT + '
* then e
To get an é.
The OPT key is mapped to Alt Gr (right alt) and left "Window" key. This is
similar to all other layouts using AltGr in Haiku, and it means right alt
can't be used for alt+` (but left alt and right "window" key can be used).
This is unexpected when you don't have an actual US-International keyboard
and the Alt Gr key is not labelled as such, but it is similar to how
things works for all other layouts with an Alt Gr key.
