1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into?
Typing an accented letter in Mac OS can be done by keeping a keyboard letter pressed which reveals a range of accents.

2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps?
Open Figjam on a mac, type into a note, long press E, and try to insert an accented letter (e.g. é).

3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc.

5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using?

    Hey everyone, thanks for all of your feedback here. This now exists and should work as expected.

    @Benjamin_Tran_Dinh thanks for reporting this bug, we were able to replicate it in the web browser. This feature is working in the desktop app, so we recommend using the desktop app for now as a workaround. Let us know if this helps!

          Hello !

          Same issue here. Mac Accents are not working anymore.
          They weren’t “properly supported” before but now, they are just not working at all.

          Long press display the accent system options, as it should, but choosing one does not “print” it.

          It could be a problem when delivering product in French and can be understood as a misspelling from a client perspective.

          Hi, I also have the same problem. It used to work but not anymore (around one month ago).

          I’m also using figma on my mac.

          Same here, I have tested on a M1 Mac and a Intel based, in the desktop app.
          Both have the same problem.
