In Settings/Keyboard/Special Character Entry/Compose Key you can select a 
key to trigger the compose sequence.  For example I have it set to right 
alt.

<RightAlt>u"  gives you ü,  <RightAlt>"U  is  Ü.  I'm not sure what French 
quotations marks are,  « and » ?   (<RightAlt><< and <RightAlt>>>.

The key sequences are no worse than remembering Unicode hex and most like 
€ have several variations.
