Another interesting thing to check out is KMonad (works on all platforms) to customize how your keyboard works. I don't think it supports exactly this "compose" effect, but it has various other tricks that could be similarly useful.

[Autohotkey](www.autohotkey.com) does that (nearly) perfectly on Windows. Look into hotstrings functionality. It's very easy to add new hotstrings as needed by editing the .ahk script file.
