Description from store

Made by high school students Eugene Li and Gaëtan Almela.

Frustrated by the lack of a simple, unintrusive accent system on Windows OS, we developed this extension to emulate the one from newer versions of macOS. This version does not work on Google Docs and Gmail YET. Download it now, and we will have a fix soon. :)

Diacritics, symbols, and special characters are an important part of any language, and as insignificant as they might initially seem, they play a powerful role in the true meaning and authenticity of communication. With Accents, improve the language learning experience; get better search results; communicate more clearly in everyday writing; and promote your education, productivity, and diversity.

TO USE:
1. Hold down a key when typing and wait for the pop-up to appear. Try it with uppercase letters, punctuation marks, and other symbols too.
2. To select the character you desire, you can either press the number or click on the button itself.
3. There is also a shortcut you can use: while holding the key, press the number of the button before the popup appears.

Test it out on your favorite websites.

Thanks!

This extension worked well for me. I tried others before this and had to delete them because I watched a tutorial and everything but they did not work. This one worked well the first time just by following the listed instructions. This is my first use, but it was great!
MJ Iba

Lila Van Grutten-Aichour
I'm very sorry to say that it didn't work, I'm sure it would be a great extension to have if it actually worked but sadly it doesn't. When I press a key it only duplicated the letter.
Ethan

Ryan Ingram
Works on Google Docs for me
Jatin Madaan
Not working.
Johan
It worked well for my German assignments, but for some reason, a random google tab would open out of nowhere. When I got rid of this extension, the issue stopped. This extension may have malware.
Noah Lyon
doesn't work
Widad Aghnia
It works like a wonder. Really easy to use and no need to copy-paste. Simply hold the character and choose which alphabet to use, just like what you do in smartphone.
Jin Dragons
I tried it and it did not work on any website. 100% do not reccomend.

Aaron Kernan
Great concept but it doesn't work for me when holding down the key.

Michael Miller
Doesn't work on Chromebook. Characters just repeat!
Derek Santa Monica
Totally pointless waste of time. Nothing works. Give me back the 7 minutes of life you stole from me.
Alana Wielgosz
It does not work at all. I've tried every troubleshooting option possible and it just continues to type the letter over and over again (ex: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) instead of popping up with accent options. :(
skeerk
literally doesn't work lol
Gian Massimo Mura
Buona idea, ma funziona solo su pochissimi siti e perciò è (almeno per il momento) sostanzialmente inutile.
Stephen M
This is really excellent - very handy! Just one suggestion, could you possibly add the character "l·l" to the "l" popup? Otherwise typing in Catalan becomes challenging as you still need to use an ALT code for that small middot! :)
Jaden Gargollo
IT DOESNT WORK!!!!!!!! I would very much like to use this because I have to do Spanish homework on the computer and I have to constantly check at my alt codes.
Sutej Gaddam
I'll give you you're next goal. Make it work on Google Docs please. Other than that, its great. But Google Docs.

Doesn't on computers. The instructions say to hold down a key. Okay. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Corey Sunakis
does not work at all, when you hold down a key, it is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)
Clay Kanaga
Works well on everything except google docs and gmail, should have said that somewhere.
Lilian Vo
Didn't work at times and added the vowel with an accent in addition to the vowel without an accent. This isn't that big of a deal but made it annoying and finicky to use.
Caitlin lloyd
doesnt worrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Robert Jimenez
Hold down a key and the accents will pop up... just attempted on the evernote web and it didn't work. When you hold down a key it typically retypes that same letter repeatedly, so the "enye" was not something I could produce. Thumbs down.
Tibe That Guy
The accents automatically override certain the keys for important symbols on AZERTY, like the exclamation mark. e.g. The apostrophe is important in French, for verbs like s'appeller, yet s' would become s with circumflexe. Maybe a simple select menu instead?
Andy Rollyson
It won't even work for me. Nothing pops up. Nada. Zilch.
Isaac.m
didnt even open half the time and when it did it didnt even type anything, just plain awful

Didn't work for my purposes. Trying to use it with Clozemaster language learning.

If your on a Chromebook be sure to note you have to hold the alt key for it to work.
Esther
Doesn't work on google translate, which is fine, just FYI if you are trying to get accurate translations
Amber Pines
Absolute rubbish. No "key" worked for me. I won't reccommend to anyone.
KitKat with a B
I don't know but it doesn't work for me, I hold down a button and it just presses it more like a normal keyboard and no pop up appears???
