Oh my mistake, sorry.

One thing I miss from macOS is long-pressing a key on the keyboard to 
display a pop-up containing accented and other non-Latin versions of 
that character. It was much more discoverable and user-friendly than 
using a compose key shortcut or an IBus input method. This behavior was 
implemented on long-press (not release) for keyboard keys, so if the 
proposed change would allow us to gain something like this, that would 
be nice.
