I was always impressed that I could push down a key and see the accents appear for a more effortless typing experience. But when I upgraded to macOS Ventura 13.0, the accents were gone!
I have tried restoring modifier keys and inputting the terminal code, but nothing works.
Apple, please bring them back. It's been so helpful for my language class, especially since my name has an accent!

Hi andréa64,
Welcome to the Apple Community!
As we are all Apple users, like yourself, in this community, Apple is not here to listen to your heartfelt plea.
This article shows how it is supposed to work in Ventura
Enter characters with accent marks on Mac – Apple Support
NB: Article also says: Accent marks aren’t available in all apps, so wondering which app you are using.
You may want to send feedback toApple, to reach those who could make the changes.
They will likely not reply, yet your feedback may help get the issue noticed.
The more feedback received on an issue, the more likely we would see changes in an upcoming update.
There's a webpage for Feedback online (link below).
You can choose the Mac OS app where accents are no longer working for you, and click to open a feedback form:
(or just Choose MacBook Pro instead.)
All the best :-)
The accent menu works fine for most Ventura users, so there is something amiss on your machine.
Make sure you do not have the key repeat rate set to OFF
Make sure you do not have Webroot on your machine.
