I use the feature of holding down a key in order to type special characters very frequently due to using several languages. This feature suddenly disappeared with the 10.15.5 update yesterday. I need to turn it back on, as the other means to type characters is too clumsy for frequent typing. How do I do it?
Go to system preferences/keyboard/keyboard and play with the key repeat and delay settings.
If that doesn't work, open the Terminal app and type
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true
and restart

It's working here. You could try resetting NVRAM.
The defaults fix solved the issue. Thanks!
