How to enable Press-and-Hold keys in iTerm

[Oliver Baum]

I frequently use the OSX feature that allows you to hold a key and pick an accented character. 

By default this is turned off in Terminal and I came across the code to enable this which is as follows:

defaults write com.apple.terminal ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true

I have tried altering this using the iTerm2 bundle identifier:

defaults write com.googlecode.iterm2 ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true

However, it doesn't seem to work. Is it possible to enable the accent character picker at all in iTerm? And if not, can I make it a feature request?

Thanks,

Oliver.

I'm not quite sure why it doesn't show up, actually. I think it should be disabled by default, but right now it's off by accident as far as I can tell. I opened an issue to resolve this: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/issues/5261
