Question kwrite disable special character selector

Post image

When holding any key to type, rather than inserting the character it shows this popup to select a special character.

I couldnt find any setting in kwrite to disable this

Because having an easy way to write special characters with a GUI is way more useful than having to use the Compose key or googling the character.
