On a mac keyboard you can just long-press?

That's fine if you live elsewhere and type your Danish colleague Lærke's name once in a while, but if you speak a language using non-ASCII characters it feels rather slow to long-press every few characters.

> Danmark, officielt Kongeriget Danmark, er et land i Skandinavien og en suveræn stat. Det er den sydligste af de skandinaviske nationer, sydvest for Sverige og syd for Norge, og det grænser op til Tyskland mod syd. Grønland og Færøerne indgår også i den danske stat som rigsdele med selvstyre indenfor Danmarks Rige (Danmarks forhold til rigsdelene kaldes Rigsfællesskabet).

Eight Æ+Ø+Å in 382 characters.

This kind of thing usually only works in native apps that use NSTextView for text input, which is unfortunately not all of them.

I've never had that work reliably for me, across three completely different Mac installs. :/

It works in "most places" but not in others (like (some) terminals, for example).

    defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true

Might help if it got turned off.
