=== US, intl. with dead keys ===
If you are on Linux, there is a keyboard option called "US, intl. with dead keys". The way you enter diacritics is the same as the compose key one. Unfortunately, {{t|Ꝡ}} is not on the layout.

Note that this requires messing with a few files, so don't use this if you don't quite get what you're doing.

=== Vietoaq ===
For a bit, a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telex_(input_method) Vietnamese Telex] equivalent called '''Vietoaq''' was popular, where the idea was to use consonants at the end of a syllable to represent tone.
For example, {{t|lé lë lẻ lê lè lẽ}} is written <tt>lep lex len let lek lef</tt>.
To make matters worse, {{t|léq lëq lẻq lêq lèq lẽq}} is written, by diehard Vietoaq oldbies, as <tt>leb lez lem led leg lev</tt>.
This was back when compound words used {{tone|1}}, and {{t|lē lēq}} were written <tt>ler lel</tt>. So, {{t|tóaqkūq}} became <tt>toabkul</tt>.
Eventually came '''Diet Vietoaq''', which just puts one of <tt>pxntkf</tt>, marking the tone for the whole word, at the end of the word: {{t|tóaqkūq}} becomes <tt>toaqkuqp</tt>. In that sense, it is more like the "ASCII tone markers" in the previous section.
Vietoaq has not been updated to [[Toaq Delta]]. '''Do not update it to Toaq Delta;''' experience shows that the existence of a "lazy" spelling undermines the official orthography and makes reading comprehension harder for everybody. If you're short on options, you can always use [[#Kaıchuo]].
