Hello,
What does symbol mean? I see it when I am typing. How can I stop it from appearing, or what am I missing about its significance?
Info
- Platform: (macOS/Windows/Ubuntu/iOS/Android)
- Platform version: (Sierra/10/16.04)
- App Version: (3.9.0)
Hi banj,
Thank you for reporting.
That’s weird. I haven’t ever seen that popups. I can’t reproduce it.
Maybe that’s due to your input method issue or something.
Please let me know any other information if you found.
When you hold down a key on mac, it shows you a special character to use in replacement for it. Such as this: if I hold down l (lower-case L): I get that option, “ł”
if @banj actually took the time to put the platform and everything it would have been much easier to spot.

I guess you are right.
Since I am using Google Japanese Input for my input source, I didn’t get it.
So it seems like a feature of macOS’ default input method.
Thanks for the information!
I stumbled upon this issue today.
This was due to the macOS “Character Picker” feature of the Apple’s default input source and you can disable it like so:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
Then, restart the app.
