Q: Umlauts, special letters - problem with El Capitan?

Hello.

 

I have lost the ability to write umlauts and other special characters from my bluetooth US-keyboard. 

 

Previously, I could write the letter A when I pressed that letter on the keyboard, but also (when I held the key down for a moment) the letter A with an umlaut or an accent, as well as some other options.  There are similar possibilities with the other vowels, as well as with some consonants, e.g., S > ß.  Now, my keyboard no longer writes (in the Mail app, for example) when I press the key for a moment to call up the options for that key.

 

I noticed that this happened after I made updates of iOS to all of my Mac devices, though I am not certain this is related.  This Mac is using El Capitan 10.11.6. 

 

I live in Germany, so having this functionality to swap between languages is a big deal to me. 

 

Can anybody shed some light on this? 

 

Best regards, and thanks in advance for any help.
