On the AZERTY keyboard there's éèàç (I know ç is not technically an accent) and the circonflexe and tréma accents as dead keys. This is apparently enough to cause massive confusion on QWERTY keyboards and for everyone to accept discarding accents on uppercase letters (ÉÀÇ). Also it's apparently advantageous enough to accept pushing []{} to silly alt combinations.

Some people move to BÉPO or something like that, I use QWERTY with Xcompose.

In Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (Latin) we have č ć š đ ž, but we've just repurposed extra keys from English characters (to the right of l and p).

We've retained x y q (no purpose in our alphabet), making it quite convenient to just type using the native keyboard layout, regardless if I'm writing in my native language or in English.
