Found out how to do it here, it’s pretty straightforward:

1. Open up kde control center. [ the k/s button on task bar], select control center.
2. Select ‘Regional & Accessibility
3. click on keyboard layout
4. click on the ‘Xbd Options’ tab, then scroll down the list to: Compose key position. Make sure that Compose Key Position is checked. Now go down and check either right or left Win-key is compose. This will now enable functionality for the windows key, which otherwise isn’t used in linux/kde for much.

You have now enabled a key to control the creation of special characters, and you create those by doing the following:

Hit the windows key you selected, right or left one, one time, do not keep it depressed, then use the following combinations, after you release the windows key:

• ?? = ¿
• !! = ¡
• ‘e = é
• ‘a = á
• ‘i = í
• ‘o = ó
• ‘u = ú
• `a = à and so on…
• “u = ü
• << = «
• >> = »
• ^a = â
• ,c = ç
• ~n = ñ
• (c = ©
• (r = ®

There’s a big list of characters you can type here:

Not literally…

I’m starting to stay up really late. A lot. On school nights. This isn’t good, but I find myself losing track of time and getting to bed really late. Sometimes I lose track of time, then end up completing homework really late at night before retiring to bed.
