Dunno, but you could use a compose key instead. Select "Right Alt is
Compose" in keyboard preferences. Then press <Right-ALT>, "a" and "e" to
get æ. Don't hold the <Right-ALT> key while pressing "a" and "e".

Compose works for a fair number of characters, such as ø, ä, £, €, µ
etc, the right key combinations of which are left as an exercise to the
reader... :)

Cheers
Steffen.
