This extension will allow you to type Hawaiian (Polynesian) characters into any web input controls.

alt + <vowel> key combination to enter the vowel w/macron

Double tapping the shift THEN hitting a vowel will get you an uppercase vowel w/macron:

shift, shift THEN <vowel>

alt + ' will get you the glottal stop character or ‘okina

If this doesn't work for you then the input has been blocked by the creator and you should try using Polynesian Text extension:

User reviews

I have to use the Polynesian text to type out the kahakō's, but getting one over the "e" on my computer is no longer possible. No matter where I am typing, either on a web page or the Polynesian Text box, alt + e brings up the shortcut instead of the "e" with the kahakō over it.
