This is the basic layout, with no dead keys. The left and right arrow keys on ⌥n and ⌥o have control (full word) held by default.

This is the acute accent keymap (after ⌥e). Not shown are many mathematical characters available with ⌥ or ⌥⇧. Note that this includes all accented characters necessary for Spanish, including ñ and ü (the latter on the letter g, as in güero).
This is the grave accent keymap (after ⌥-apostrophe). It includes letters like ş, ţ, ż, and ğ, as well as several copyleft and related symbols ( ↄ⃝ , ㄸ⃝, ©̸, ᔥ, and ↬.)
This is the umlaut/dieresis keymap (after ⌥-quote). Note the unicode symbols and dingbats. Many more are available with ⌥.

This is the currency/control symbol keymap (after ⌥⇧h). Not shown are the lowercase superscript alphabet with ⌥, or the letterlike mathematical symbols (such as ℂ and ℱ) with ⌥⇧.
This is the tilde and icelandic keymap (after ⌥⇧j). Not shown are the lower and uppercase encircled alphabets (ⒶⓐⒷⓑ...) with ⌥ and ⌥⇧.

This is the combining accents keymap (after ⌥⇧m). More are available with ⌥ and ⌥⇧.
Not shown is the hyphen "deadkey" keymap (after ⌥-slash). Almost all keys are unchanged, so this can generally be used as a normal hyphen key. Its main virtue is easier-to-type shortcuts for — (mdash; press ⌥-slash twice), -> (function arrow in coffeescript; press ⌥-slash ⌥-period), and => (bound function arrow in coffeescript; press ⌥-slash ⌥-comma) without fiddling with the modifier keys. Using the ⌥ key, it also allows macron-accented vowels (like ē) for typing Maori. If you really really need to type "-€" or "--" or "-!", you can use the minus next to the 0.
