Please update this so that Chrome keeps it! This is the best, easiest way I've found to add German accents.

You can customize it for the accents you need and the app isn't reading everything you type! Takes a few minutes to set up then works perfectly! (Pin it to your toolbar, right click to go to options, paste all the accented letters you need, then just click to use & press Ctrl V to paste the letter when typing) Thank you developer!! :)

This extension used to work. Now every time I click on the 3 dots, it does not give me the option for the Spanish Accents.
