That would still work - asterisk isn’t a letter that can be accented, so the popup wouldn’t appear and the key would repeat as normal.
In typical Apple fashion, ‘that’s the neat part - it doesn’t’. If you want to be able to hold a letter to type it repeatedly, you have to disable the diacritics popup with a console command.
It’s the sort of stubborn ‘getting in my way’ feature that drives some people nuts when using a Mac, but in my experience it’s far more useful to be able to easily type accented characters than it is to be able to save half a second on the rare occasions I want to type ‘ooooooooooooooh’.
And yeah, if the popup is open you either hit the number displayed under the character you want or use the mouse to click on it.
On macOS you either use dead keys (option + backtick and then a letter will add a grave accent, like à) or just press and hold down the letter to get a little pop-up diacritics picker.
There’s a similar incentive to this Windows 11 one, but for macOS. Yikes.
Not sure why that warrants a yikes; macOS is far more usable than Windows 11. I’d go so far as to call it downright pleasant in comparison.
It was announced months ago, this is just the first gameplay video.
Looks fun though!
Supporting a new platform is a lot more than just changing some flags and hitting compile.
Sadly, based on many comments I’ve seen (across the net at large but also here on Lemmy), a lot of gamers really do think it’s that easy.

A rare inverse example of Poe’s law in action - a statement so lacking in nuance that everyone is assuming it to be sarcastic.
Ah, one of the dozen people who actually liked the original Steam controller! A rare sight indeed.
No they didn’t. It was delisted from stores. The game still works if you own it, or even if you go out today and buy a used physical copy. Same goes for all of the delisted FH games.
Delistings are not what SKG is about and I wish people would stop pretending it is.
The problem I have with most of these services is that every channel is too hyper-specific, often literally just playing a single show or, at best, 2-3 shows but in multi-hour blocks. Incredibly lazy IMO.
To me, the appeal of linear terrestrial TV is having channels that show a wide variety of things throughout the day. If I wanted to see 24 hours of non-stop Mr. Bean I’d download them and shuffle the folder.
