When I hold down the 'A' key or the 'S' key, an option pops up to choose alternate letters (æ, š) - how do i turn this off??
I am trying to play a flash game on firefox that requires the WASD keys to move. When I hold down the 'A' or 'S' key, an option pops up to choose other alternate letters (à, ś, æ). This happens in every browser field I hold one of the keys down, and it also interrupts the key press in the flash client, so I am trying to turn this feature off.
I have already tried installing the Customize Shortcuts add-on, but those all pertain to command + key shortcuts, and not any "holding down the key" shortcuts.
Thanks so much for your help!

My Firefox feels so boring: if I hold down the a key, I get a row of aaaaa's.
This seems to be a MacOS feature. Could you check out these pages for a possible solution (basically the same solution):

See:
# Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Keyboard.You can add accent marks and special characters to some letters. For example, hold down the a key to type à, á, â, or other characters.
- Drag the Delay Until Repeat slider to set how long to wait before the character begins repeating.
- Drag the Key Repeat slider to set how fast characters repeat.
If you set the Key Repeat slider to Off, special characters won’t appear when you hold down a key.
