Somehow when holding keys a, o, or u the umlauts and other symbols that were available are no longer there. Instead, it types a line of letters which I press.
Tried on different keyboards - US, ABC, ABC extended.
I know there is another way with [option} + u, but it's inconvenient
Thank you for help
MacBook Air 13″

Common fixes for this:
+Make sure your Key Repeat rate is not set to off.
+Make sure you do not have Webroot installed.
+Open Terminal app and type
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true
and then return and restart.

Start up a Mac with Apple silicon in safe mode
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > Shut Down.
After your Mac shuts down, wait 10 seconds.
Press and hold the power button on your Mac until the startup options window appears showing available startup disks and Options.
Select a startup disk.
Press and hold the Shift key, click Continue in Safe Mode, then release the Shift key.
To leave safe mode, restart your Mac normally, without pressing and holding any keys during startup.
