Pop-up accented letter map gone

Hello tsukiyuuki,

As the accents are working for me with OS X 10.10.1 I did some digging and found this.

You can add accent marks and special characters to some letters. For example, hold down the a key to type à, á, â, or other characters.

If you set the Key Repeat slider to Off, special characters won’t appear when you hold down a key.

OS X Yosemite: Set how quickly a key repeats

I tested it and yes, Key Repeat slider to Off stopped the popup accent menus. See if that works for you.

Take care,

Nubz

I'd really like to get my pop-up menu back - help?

Sometimes you can get this back by going to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and using the plus and add buttons to add a French or Spanish keyboard layout to the active keyboard list.

Hi tsukiyuuki,

Thanks for the update. Glad toggling the setting helped.

Unfortunately this suggestion didn't work for me (running Yosemite 10.10.2).

Is there anybody with this version of the system which is encountering the same issue?

Thanks

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.

Many thanks! I'll do as you suggest.
