@jdhartung : I would guess that this is both locale and keyboard type
dependent.

For example, you state that you are using a US keyboard. I, on the otherhand,
use a FR keyboard, where having to type Shift-NumberKey (numbers are upper case
on a fairly substantial majority of non-EN (US/UK) keyboards) is absolutely of
no speed or UX advantage whatsoever in the scenario you describe. Obviously, I
already have French accented characters directly on the keyboard, so the issue
is moot in such a situation, but definitely not if I were typing in another
language with accents or other extended characters (e.g. Spanish, German or
Slavic languages).


The cheapest solution would no doubt be for you to buy a Spanish keyboard,
which would enable you to continue using LibreOffice.


The point is whilst I agree that it would be nice to have the Apple suggested
character support you also mention, that particular problem is a duplicate of
bug 42437.

As you can see from the age of that bug report (7.5 years ago), nothing and no
one has been sufficiently interested or motivated enough to implement that
macOS feature into LibreOffice.
