How to add the acute accent to the letter 'e' - as in José's name
If you’ve ever wondered whether there was an easy way to add an acute to the letter e as in José’s name - there is - at least on a Mac 
Hold down alt and the letter e - then tap e again 
That’s it

No, as it massively depends on your keyboard mapping and your operating system dictates what kind of mappings are available per default or possible at all. Also your systems language massively affects what is available.

I don’t have a compose key setup (I use a coding variant of dvorak and I want all my keys accessible for programming), so I just copy/paste… ^.^;

In Windows you can hold Alt then enter ASCII code with numpad. For é it’s 233.
Linux has something similar: Ctrl+Shift+U, then enter ASCII code in hex, é is e9, then Enter.
