KDE Umlauts without compose key

I recently switched from Windows to Kubuntu.

I have an US international keyboard (€ sign on key 5).

In order to be able to type Umlauts I have to press the compose key+shift+'+vowel. This is extremely annoying for me.

I'd like to have the Windows behavior back, that is, Umlaut = shift+'+vowel only, without a compose key.

How can I do this with KDE? So the question is, how can I type umlauts without using a compose key? Is it possible at all?

Only tested on KDE4 at the moment, but assuming you can find the same layout in KDE5 (or any other environment), this should work.

Choose the "English (US, international with dead keys)" layout.
