Velocity Accents

Velocity Accents is super easy to use:

• Hold down a key (e.g., 'a' for accents)
• Press the activation key (Space or configured arrow key) - the overlay appears
• Press the activation key multiple times to cycle through variants (à → á → â → ä)
• Optional: Use arrow keys for direct selection
• Release the key when you see the accent you want

Cycling makes it lightning fast - just hold, cycle, release!

Yes! Velocity Accents works universally across all macOS applications:

Customize Velocity Accents perfectly for your workflow!

Velocity Accents offers convenient language presets:

No cluttered menus anymore - only the accents you actually need!

Velocity Accents works with all common keyboard layouts:

• US International, QWERTZ (DE), AZERTY (FR)
• Apple Magic Keyboard (wireless & wired)
• MacBook Pro/Air built-in keyboards
• Third-party keyboards (Logitech, Keychron, etc.)

Simply plug in and get started - no special configuration required.

When typing very quickly, accents can occasionally be inserted unintentionally - this happens when a key is still pressed while pressing the Space key.

Solution: Adjust the gesture delay time individually in the settings:

• Frequent mistypes when typing fast: Decrease the delay
• No accents triggered (slow typing): Increase the delay
• Find your personal optimal balance between speed and precision

The adjustable delay time makes Velocity Accents optimizable for every typing style.

With Velocity Accents, typing accents on a Mac US keyboard is effortless:

• Hold the base letter (e.g., 'e' for é, 'u' for ü, 'n' for ñ)
• Press Space to activate - the accent overlay appears
• Cycle through accent variants or use arrow keys to select
• Release the key - the accented character is inserted

No need to change your keyboard layout, memorize alt codes, or use the slow macOS Character Viewer. Works in every app.

Yes, Velocity Accents solves the key problems with the native macOS accent menu:

• No typing delay: The macOS accent menu slows down key repeat. Velocity Accents has zero lag
• Faster selection: Cycle through accents with one key instead of moving a mouse or using number keys
• Customizable: Only show the accents you need - no cluttered menu with rarely used characters
• Works everywhere: Consistent behavior across all apps including Terminal and VS Code

If you've ever been frustrated by the slow macOS accent menu or disabled key repeat to get it working, Velocity Accents is the solution.
