I noticed there is already the corresponding item in etc/TODO:
**** PressAndHold for writing accented character
On macOS, many application support the press and hold pattern to
invoke a menu of accented characters. (See example at
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201586 .)
Currently, this doesn't work in Emacs.
Note that "ns-win.el" explicitly disables this.
Note: This feature might not be allowed to be implemented until also
implemented in Emacs for a free system.
