On Apple Mac computers running macOS, holding down a key (such as E) does not repeat the letter by default. Instead, an iOS-style numbered popup bubble appears above the cursor showing all available diacritics. Pressing the corresponding number key on your keyboard immediately inserts the chosen character.
