This is probably better asked on a more general list. In brief:
a) Check your favorite editor for possible ways. E.g., in vim I type
Crtl-K " a to get an ä, or Crtl-K , c to get an ç and so on.
b) You can asign a compose key under X, which allows you to press,
e.g., Compose " a for an ä.
c) Some applications (e.g., OpenOffice.org) have built in Char-Tables,
usefull if you only need an umlaut once in a while.
Hope this helps, and check the docs of your X and your editor!
Greetings
Helge
