I have the same problem where I get the repeating letters rather than the accented letter. Trying to fill in a field in google translate.

Super unclear on how to use it. There is no settings menu when I click on the puzzle icon. Since it seems to be a common problem, make a youtube video and link it in the description.

does not work. its description literally reads: "To type an accent, hold down the physical key on your keyboard (for example, the E key to type é). Type as you would normally, just hold down the accents longer than normal." which of course just yields "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" also does not have a setting to choose the language like it states.
