"Press and hold" is an OS X input method used for entering accented
characters if a key is held down (instead of repeating the key). It's
not supported in Emacs.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-06/msg00784.htmlstates: "Let's look into making it work properly once people decide to
install Lion."
That was more than three years ago, and since then two major OS X
versions have been released, but unfortunately press and hold is still
not supported. It would be great to support this feature to make Emacs
more consistent with other apps on OS X.
