IOS 8 third-party keyboard for accentuated characters

ioskeyboard

iOS 8 now supports third-party keyboards. I am pretty satisfied with Apple's default keyboard, however one thing is a hassle for me, as a French speaker : typing accentuated characters takes a long time, because you first have to touch for instance the letter "E" and then wait for the accentuated variants such as "é è ë…" to appear.

Hence my question : is there a third-party keyboard especially designed for quickly typing accentuated characters ?

iOS 8 (like iOS 7) on my iPad has a French keyboard called Accented AZERTY, where you type é by typing e and then the accent from the bottom row of keys. This is a lot faster than holding down the e key for most people.
