Until recently, I could hold down a key for a long time, for example, a vowel like e, o or i, and then I would get the option to add a special character, for example, a trema. This feature is unfortunately disabled, I don't know how this can be done. Who knows how I can turn this back on? I have a relatively new MacBook Pro.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
This works sometimes to restore that feature:
open Terminal app and type
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true
and then restart.
An alternative is to use option key shortcuts instead

It still works ok...
What apps are you using?
Not all apps supports the feature...btw...
special character e, o, i, etc.
