Just curious-- does that mean you can type a diaeresis over a "g" or "n" if
you so desire?  I use US-Intl keyboard, which as you probably know makes the
quote, tilde and shift-6 keys dead; but it's just a substitute for using
Alt - Keypad, and one is limited to the standard accented characters. OK for
the usual European languages, but not for way-out conlanging.   I can see
how someone might want to do more complex things in a word-processing
program (I had to make "w" with a tilde once), but it wouldn't help much in
email or, probably, html.
