Holding down keys in on-screen keyboard

My laptop's keyboard failed a couple of weeks ago. Not the whole thing, just the top-left portion of the alphabet: 'q','w','e','r','t','a','s','d','f'. The spacebar is sort of usuable, but only if use fingers from both hands and put the weight of both arms into it, and even then it may take a few tries. Anyway, as a workaround for when I don't have an external keyboard (such as now), I use Windows 11's on-screen keyboard. One problem with that though: It doesn't have an option to hold down most keys. I mean, when I click Ctrl, that stays held down. But what if I want to hold 'a' and click some
