The same has been true of the various Linux distributions and Macs for
years, too: no need for any special app outside the OS to provide a
non-US keyboard -- the OS has them just a key-chord away.  In the long
term, I think that is the "best" solution: to learn the most common
"domestic" keyboard for one's language(s).  That lets you use basically
any keyboard on any computer in the country.  As for best word
processor -- that's in the beholder's eye.
