If no additional characters are available for the key that you're holding, the accent menu doesn't appear.
If you decide that you don't want to type an accented character after holding a key, press the Esc (escape) key.
Repeat a character
Some keys repeat when you press and hold them, depending on where you type them. Press and hold the Space bar or symbol keys (like hyphen or equals) to make these characters repeat in most apps. In apps where accented characters aren't used (like Calculator, Grapher, or Terminal), letter and number keys also repeat when you press and hold them.
If a character isn't repeating, check your Key Repeat settings:
- Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences.
- Click Keyboard.
- Make sure that the Key Repeat slider isn't set to Off.
If a key isn't designed to repeat in the app you’re using, follow these steps:
- Select the character that you want to copy.
- Press Command-C to copy the character to the clipboard.
- Hold Command-V to paste the character repeatedly.
