Hold a letter (e, a, c, o, n…) and pick its accented variant (é è ê ë, ç, ñ, ô…) from a popup, with its number, the arrows or the mouse; a quick tap types the letter as usual. Works on any keyboard layout, without a daemon or root, in applications that use the GNOME input method (Wayland: GTK, VTE terminals, Electron with its Wayland backend). A shortcut (Super+E by default) opens the same picker without holding. Preferences: press-and-hold on/off and duration, shortcut, character table, keyboard layouts.

extensions should not access the clipboard directly
Direct clipboard access via `St.Clipboard.get_default()` requires reviewer scrutiny.

1. Please add to the description that this extension is using clipboard: [EGO Review Guidelines: Clipboard](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#clipboard-access-must-be-declared) 2. Please use `connectObject()` and `disconnectObject()` so it is easier to track for cleanup. 3. That is the instance, not the function (line 15 `accentPicker.js`). It should be called `settings` not `getSettings`. And you are actually wrongly doing `this._getSettings()` in that file. 4. Remove unnecessary try-catch wrappers around settings get. 5. Timeout should be removed before creating a new one (line 113, 300 `accentPicker.js`): [EGO Review Guidelines: Timeout](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#remove-main-loop-sources) If you need any help with your extension you can ask us on: - [GNOME Extensions Matrix Channel](https://matrix.to/#/#extensions:gnome.org) - IRC Bridge: irc://irc.gimpnet.org/shell-extensions
