i'm using Illustrator and I need to type in Portuguese/Spanish so i need to use accents like áàê

Everywhere else on Mac OS if I long press the key I get an accent pop up, like this:

In Illustrator, this never shows up.

I know there are workarounds (glyphs window, other mac shortcuts and keyboard viewer) but none of those is practical.
That accent pop up is shown everywhere else in the system except for Illustrator, which is very frustrating
