Quick Accent activation improvement

[Carlos-DM]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

This improvement would consist of NOT having to hold the letter after having pressed the activation key and the window with the accented letters would stay visible. Of course, there could be an option to turn this setting on or off as desired.

If enabled, Quick Accent would work like this:

• Press a letter and hold it (example a)
• Press the activation key (example space) -> the window with the options appears (á à ä â etc...)
• You can now release the letter and the space -> the window with the options remains open
• You can use arrows or the mouse to hover over the options. The selected option is highlighted and, if enabled, the Unicode code is shown
• If clicked or Enter is pressed, the selected option is inserted
• If clicked outside of the window, or ESC is pressed, nothing is inserted (not even the original, non-accented letter)

Scenario when this would be used?

At any time Quick Accent is used.

Supporting information

It's like PowerToys Run: you press the activation key and they the window appears and you can work with it without having to hold any key. It is more intuitive. It's like when you have to type an accented letter such as "á" (in a spanish keyboard) -> you press and release the accent key ´ and then press and release the letter a; but you don't have to press and hold the accent key and then press the letter.
