X11 compose sequences are a lot more intuitive than the Windows U.S. international keyboard because there's no ambiguities, so, for example, a cedille is just <Compose>,c whereas in the Windows U.S. international keyboard layout it's 'c

That sounds pretty good indeed. Any idea how could I go about setting this up under macOS?

I have indeed a couple of little, weird problems when working in the terminal. That's inconvenient but still beats switching between 3 layouts 50 times a day.

Sorry, no idea, but I'd expect it to be possible on OS X. And I really want this for Windows, too, as I have to use it.

Oof, I can't get used to having to type '' to make one ', "" to make one ", `` to make one `, in the shell, in $EDITOR, etc. It's too painful. So I switch layouts as needed, and I hate it. Compose keys would be so much better!
