 @Nonya_Bidniss @pmcg "Character Map and Notepad", I can only assume you tried it on Windows. We were speaking of Apple devices. sorry for the confusion. I should have been more clear.  @PetterOfCats @pmcg Ok, sorry. The original post was about Windows and I missed the bit where the discussion became about Apple. I see it now. 😏 p.s. Windows sucks @Nonya_Bidniss @pmcg lol I agree. Thank you for pointing out. I’ve edited my post so it won’t confuse anyone (hopefully).  @PetterOfCats @Nonya_Bidniss yeah what I am talking about is the old-fashioned way like from Mac OS 7 (and well before that). If you want to push and hold on it, that is the iPad way. There are ways to toggle them in System Preferences … errrrrrrr System Systems.  @pmcg @PetterOfCats @Nonya_Bidniss However, it still works in current versions of OSX. Growing up as an Apple guy I've always been floored that Windows and Linux don't just do this. This is like a very basic functionality of computers.  @PetterOfCats @pmcg @mathewi There's one place I know of where holding down a key repeats it instead of pulling up the alternate chars: the #Mac's Terminal. But dead-key accents still work. @waltertross @PetterOfCats @mathewi on MacOS it is a system setting where you can choose not to have it behave like an iPhone keyboard. Although in recent OS Settings app, I can't remember where it is. |
@PetterOfCats @pmcg @mathewi I just tried this in Notepad and Word and all it did was produce an endless string of e's.
I use the Character Map, I always have it pinned to my taskbar.
