Having alt+keycodes similar to those available on mac

As someone who came from macOS, I'd like to utilize something similar to what it had with Alt keycodes. Some examples of this are Alt+n producing a tilde over the next keypress, Alt+o producing umlauts over the next keypress, or Shift+Alt+/ (or Alt+?) producing an upside-down question mark. Would it be possible to implement something similar here?
I have looked some over the following wiki pages, but I would be very appreciative of any guidance here, particularly if there is anything prebuilt I could install to have this sort of functionality available.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_ … _extension

As a side note: All of my keyboards are QMK-compatible, so I suppose I could wire something like this into each keyboard, but doing so would be a bit tedious. Hoping I could have something like this within my OS itself rather than flashed over to each keyboard.
