holding down letter keys to see all available characters

[RJCP]

Hello!
I'm running DP4 11A494a but that feature which Apple announced of holding down a key to see all available characters (like in iOS), doesn't seem to be working. When I press a key for a long time, nothing happens and after a while it starts repeatedly introducing that letter.

Any thoughts?

Cheers.

Mine its working, and I'm using the same build. Try installing DP4 again or way till next update and do a fresh install (Format Partition).

Does it only work in specific applications?

Hmm, interesting! It didn't work before the latest update either. I'll wait for the next one.

I wonder if it is because of my type of keyboard? It's a portuguese characters keyboard, so it already allows to input some types of characters which you wouldn't be able with an english keyboard. Nevertheless, I type a lot in German and Latin, so when I heard of this feature I was really excited.

I believe further updating will solve the issue, as some people are having troubles with Safari's multitouch functions and others aren't.

Also, a bit off topic, but is versions and auto-save already working in iWork '09? Because for me it works on Text Editor, but it doesn't on Pages.

I've already reported all this to Apple. Hopefully it will fixed!
Cheers!
