Almost every keyboard outside of US English has simple ways to access accented keys, either directly or via a dead key, which causes as little effort as using Shift for typing a capital.
Just more proof that the U.S. as a whole is a country of conceited bastards. ;) (I have a standard U.S. keyboard- Linux lets me use the Caps Lock as a dead key for just that purpose- and while I don't remember the name of it, there's a Win program that let's me do that as well.)
For fiddlers, Microsoft offers a free tool here:

Linux users would know how to do that anyway. So, really no big deal i.m.o.
