You can set up a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key compose key] on your computer, which will change the behavior of one of the keys on your keyboard to "compose" the next two keypresses into one character — for example <kbd style="border:2px outset;padding:1px 4px">CapsLock</kbd> <kbd style="border:2px outset;padding:1px 4px">?</kbd> <kbd style="border:2px outset;padding:1px 4px">a</kbd> becomes {{t|ả}}.

On Linux, this might not even involve installing anything! Look for "compose key" plus your distro name.

This is a little tool by [[User:Lynn]] that runs in your browser, available [http://foldr.moe/kaichuo/ here]. You type something like <kbd style="border:2px outset;padding:1px 4px">Kiai ji kato/ da</kbd> and it turns it into {{t|Kỉaı jí káto da}}. (Wow! It knows {{t|jí}} is a pronoun and automatically adds {{Tone|2}}.)

[https://github.com/toaq/toaq.org/blob/master/toaq.ahk This official AutoHotkey script] will convert <kbd style="border:2px outset;padding:1px 4px">a/</kbd> into á, etc. Oh, it's actually outdated (has the old {{tone|3old}} instead of the new {{tone|3}}).
