At this point, I've forgotten the struggle of global hotkeys interfering with uncommon symbols. Using Emacs, when I need to write in a language that doesn't use only Latin symbols, I switch to phonetic translit for that language. I.e. I still type only using Latin symbols, but some sequences of symbols translate into different letters in the target alphabet.
Also, maybe less so today, but at the time when internationalization was usually even worse than it is today on typical computers available to general public, it was very common, at least for Poles outside Poland to write w/o any diacritics at all. There's not so much overlap, and usually you can figure it out from the context.
BTW, in a very similar way, Russian ё is often replaced by e. To the point that the "incorrect" variant is today acceptable even in newspapers. Alternatively, if I see Russian text that uses "ё", I get a feeling that it's about patriotism and must be some self-aggrandizing propaganda.
