it may be more practical to use an input method that provides what you
need. see the function toggle-input-method and the variable
default-input-method. for example, i use the input method latin-9-prefix,
which gives me several dead keys. then "a gives ä, ~o gives õ, etc. "s
gives ß, ~< gives «, /a gives å. you may find an input method that suits
your needs.
