Firstly, this is for High Sierra

I've already tried this step:

Character Accent Menu doesn't appear anymore in macOS Sierra

  • Add a second language like French in Settings -> Keyboard -> Input Source

  • When I type defaults read -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled in a Terminal I got a 1

  • Go into Settings, Keyboard and make sure the Key Repeat slider is set to Slow and the Delay Until Repeat slider is set to Short.

Even if I restart the Accent Menu doesn't appear.

And this is my Mac:

macOS High Sierra | version 10.13, MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)

    Do you have any antivirus stuff installed, or 3rd party apps that are aimed at text handling? Try setting up a new user account and see if you still have the problem when logged into that.

Like @TomGewecke said the only way I found to solve this bug was to create another user or to reinstall Mac OS High Sierra

MacPilot has a setting that allows you to enable the accent menu in:

Apps > System > Interface > Pressing and holding keys shows accent menu

I had this problem too when upgrading from macOS Monterey to Ventura. You can fix it using Juliet Sychrava's answer, it worked for me:

I've just got the answer to this from Apple. Go into Settings, Keyboard and make sure the Key Repeat slider is set to Slow and the Delay Until Repeat slider is set to Short. That fixes it. If the keyboard is working too fast, the menu won't appear.
