With PolyType installed
If you run the PolyType app or browser extension, type the base letter then the diacritic — no layout switch (the directive accents the letter immediately before it):
The instant cycle ;;o also works (repeat to cycle variants).
This inline syntax needs PolyType running; without it, use a method above.
