So the lv3 stuff works something like this:

alt+; then letter gives right accented letter
alt+[ then letter gives umlauted letter
alt+] then letter gives tilded letter
alt+' then letter gives hatted letter

There's a different set called compose rather than lv3 that will give
you "composed" things, compose+letter then ' gives accented letter, etc.
It's sort of a more logical model. Look in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/compose for "xkb_symbols" instead for its
possible buttons.

Thanks,
