On the US(international) keyboard, I think you type an apostrophe
followed by another character to generate a letter with an acute above
it. For example, to create an a-acute character (á in html), you
type an apostrophy followed by an a. To create an o-umlaut (ö in
html), you type a colon followed by an o.
That's why you had to press the key twice; it was waiting for the letter to which it should add the acute.
