Holding key on macOS brings up accent/diacretic menu

Version: 1.0.167
Platform: macOS x64 20.1.0
Plugins: none
Frontend: xterm

When I hold a key that has accented versions (most values and a few consonants), the macOS menu appears to select an accented version, located off the main window. It becomes a problem when holding down the l key in vim. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Thanks! This is a really great piece of software, and I'm excited to see where it goes!

Hey just happened to find out Macos Monterey (Darwin 21.1.0) has strange behavior but you can enable repeat keys with this command :

defaults write NSGlobalDomain ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

But still got issue with repeated keys with shortcut like alt+arrow left.

Just found out too that on mac Os it works better disabling Tabby Meta key, now all shortcuts, long press etc work perfectly !

I'm experiencing this on macOS Sequoia 15.0

In VIM I'm using home row for navigation, and when I hold "k" to move up, see the popup in the bottom left hand corner for special the special character "ķ". I tried setting the option to Use option as the Meta key - but the special character still appeared after restarting the app.

I've not experienced this problem in Terminal or iterm2. Aside from this, I'm really enjoying Tabby so far, thanks!

Edit: I did confirm that disabling the feature system wide and restarting the app did prevent it from popping up, but it's not the desired way to handle it.
