press and hold accents not working

• Overnight my press and hold accent option has stopped working and now just repeats the letter instead of showing accent options (OS Catalina)

I looked into several solutions based on community advice, such as

Rebooting the computer, endless number of times

• Set the key repeat to slow and the key delay to short

• Launching the terminal and inputting the following. It worked for 2 minutes and stopped working again. "defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true"

Would appreciate a solution, as I have to write on a daily basis in different languages and I need my accents back!!

Try making a change to your >System Preferences>Keyboard>>Keyboard

If you cannot get a quick fix, the old way to make accents should still work
