I might be unfamiliar with exactly how FUTO does the accents, but isn't this https://github.com/tenextractor/futo-keyboard-layouts/blob/d08b91caf163759f8c233ff37f75a57d4438122a/LatinScript/Europe/faroese.yaml#L8 missing the accented characters?

This is the Faroese layout I've been using through the developer options. It puts the ð behind the d, but that is just a personal preference on my side. But It specifies a lot more accented characters so that they are easily available behind long taps (without having to move the finger to the faroese accented character after a long tap)

@SigmundurMorkore The acute accent key is a dead key. It covers Á É Í Ó Ú Ý and the rest (ð Æ Ø) are given their own keys.

I'd prefer if the accents were accessible by long pressing since that's what people will mostly be used to, it would require users to relearn to use a dead key which is uncommon on mobile
