On a French AZERTY keyboard, several keys hold a single accent, and are supposed to be combined with the following (compatible) letter, examples:

• "^" followed by "e" should send a SDL_TextInputEvent with "ê"
• "¨" followed by "u" should send "ü" (german)
• "~" followed by "n" should send "ñ" (spanish).

It was fully working on SDL 1.3 : The input system "kept the accent in reserve" , and when typing the second key, the "unicode" field of the second key event was holding the combined, accented character.
With SDL2 instead, the accentkeys send an immediate SDL_TextInputEvent event with just the accent ("¨", "^", "~", "`"). Typing the second letter sends its own event, ignoring the accent previously typed.
