Thanks for implementing this feature! I have enabled the entry and I can find it also in the defaults:

at 09:58:18 ❯ defaults find ApplePressAndHoldEnabled
Found 1 keys in domain 'Apple Global Domain': {
ApplePressAndHoldEnabled = 1;
}
Found 1 keys in domain 'com.googlecode.iterm2': {
ApplePressAndHoldEnabled = 1;
}

But it seems not to work. In other fields/apps it works. i.e. here: ü.

Do you have an idea what I have configured wrong? or what might stop it from working?

With the option on (and app reloading) the repeating does not work at all for "normal" characters, for the delete key everything is fine. So I assume the hook for showing the overlay works, but is not displayed? I can also influence the speed in which the delete is repeated, just the long press for umlaute is not "working".

... It's just not displayed, as I'm using a hotkey window, which seems to be even overlayed on top of the menue. In a 'normal' window it works. Do you have an idea how I can change the ordering, in such it overlays all UI elements except that one?
