My MacBook operates smoothly, but I recently wondered, "Are there any unnecessary files or settings accumulating where I can't see them?" prompting me to perform a system health check using the Terminal.

Restore Comfortable Typing on Your Mac​

When you're writing or coding on your Mac, have you ever held down a key like a, expecting it to repeat like aaaaa..., only to be interrupted by a menu of accented characters (like à)?

This is a handy macOS feature called "Press and Hold," but it can hinder your workflow, especially when you need to type the same character repeatedly for coding or writing.

This article provides a clear, step-by-step guide on how to disable this accent menu and enable traditional key repeat, even for those unfamiliar with macOS.

This guide has been tested on the following environment:

• Mac: M1, 2020
• macOS: Sonoma 15.1 (24B83)
