Shortcut of special character suggestion in a popup in Intellij Idea


Is there any shortcut in Intellij Idea, if I type for example "e", a popup should appear and suggest me other special characters related to "e" letter like "é, ê"?

Android phones have this feature, if I type "e" and wait for a second, I see suggestions.

Thanks.

  • On Mac if I hold down on keys that have similar but different representations in other regions of the world, I get that little popup menu from which I can choose a variant.

    On Windows there is no equivalent to this.

    But alternatively, I used the old way.

    • Press Windows + R
    • Write charmap
    • Copy the character
