The dead keys for acute accent (é, á, ó, etc.) and tilde (ñ, ã, etc.) do not work on macOS. They clash with Alt key shortcuts.

Steps to reproduce:

• open Inkscape (on macOS)
• Create a text box on the canvas
• Use the dead key combination to type a character with an acute accent (e.g. hold alt+e, then press E to type "é")
• Use the dead key combination to type a character with a tilde (e.g. hold alt+n, then press N to type "ñ")

What happened?

• A hidden, Edit menu (other than the native macOS menu) is displayed when typing alt + E.
• Similarly, a non-native Extensions menu is displayed when typing alt + N.

As a side note, the other dead keys on the US keyboard layout appear to work just fine.

What should have happened?

The characters é or ñ should have appeared in the text box.
