A bit related to the question: If you need Spanish Tilde chars but you
have only an English or German keyboard (like I have), you can make use
of the so called WindowsKey in X11 and define the keys like shown below.
After this, for example, the combination WindowsKey+a gives á (a-tilde).

# para español:

xmodmap -e "keycode 0x73 =  Mode_switch"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x39 =  n N ntilde Ntilde"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1a =  e E eacute Eacute"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x26 =  a A aacute Aacute"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1f =  i I iacute Iacute"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1e =  u U uacute Uacute"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x20 =  o O oacute Oacute"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x14 =  questiondown question backslash ssharp"
