Feature description

The Spanish (QWERTY) keyboard vowels except the a with a long press it defaults to numbers.

Setting a new row for numbers gives the desired functionality, but it would be nice to have it on the mode without the number row, to have different keyboard presets for the same language, or to be able to choose which character defaults on long press.

Why do you want this feature?

Due to the high usage of acute accents in Spanish, having to dodge the number option on long press and only in some vowels makes writing slower and prone to errors.

This conflicts a bit with having numbers on the same slot on long press, but to get the numbers you still can change to the number layout, and having easy access to accents is essential in Spanish.

I'm wondering why other keyboard apps like Gboard have the same behavior as Fossify Keyboard for Spanish.

Well, that could be because users can rely on an spell checker, and not having to write accents.

I haven't used Gboard for a while, but the keyboard that I used before, AnySoftKeyboard, has accents working this way.
