Add English (US, intl, with dead keys) (us+intl) as an input source on KDE settings. On GNOME it looks like this:

Then type ñ with AltGr + n. Same thing for áéíóú (acute accents). Use the y for the ü (umlaut/dieresis).

Here and here you'll find more:

Note: You can switch between your input sources with Super + space

For a terminal way take a look to this answer

Open Keyboard app from System Settings module
Go to Layouts tab
Click on Configure layouts
Click Add 4.a Limit selection by language set English 4.b Layout set EurKey (US based layout with European letters)
Remove default layout so you end up with only the EurKey layout
Click on Apply and test, you should be able to type ñ pressing right-Alt` + n.
You can get áéíóú by pressing right-Alt + ' and then pressing the vowel.

I hope it helps!.

This isn't the best solution. The proper way is with the US International, "dead keys" variant. – Jul 02 '19 at 13:04
