Being able to type French accents and diacriticals #2

Idea

Bonjour Jocelyn, As a French speaker living in the US, I am using on Debian a QWERTY keyboard with International "delayed" diacriticals -- the exact name is "U.S., intl., with dead keys" But I am unable to type the French accents as usual when using your excellent Thunderbird-docker implementation. I have tried to activate

Since the VNC protocol is used under the hood to provide access to the UI, these keyboard interactions might be tricky to support. I will try to see if this is something already supported.

Note that switching to a French keyboard profile should also work well (this is what I'm doing).

Thanks Jocelyn. The thing is that I live and work in the US and that I currently use a US Keyboard with an English (US, intl, with dead keys) profile.
