MacOS Long Key Press Accent Menu

Open jgehrig opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

While doing some unrelated testing on Mac OS, I noticed the following popup appear after long key presses.

Apparently this feature can be disabled globally: defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool {true/false}

It seems like this feature should be disabled for neovim-qt regardless of the global setting. However, I am unable to find any reference to this feature in Qt's documentation.

Tested with master built against Qt 5.13 on MacOS Mojave.

Could this be related to QInputMethodEvent handling?

It looks like an instance of the following Qt Bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71394

I haven't found anything about how the scenario can be mitigated, other than by turning the feature off globally.
