    How to activate Touch Keyboard by a shortcut?


    I'm trying to make a button on my lenovo pen activate the touch keyboard (NOT the on-screen keyboard). I know tabtip.exe is the program in question, but running it does nothing. I've tried modifying it in regedit, but that does nothing. I found some small programs that claim to work, but they're old and I'm not sure how to run them. They include: https://github.com/AlexeiScherbakov/osklib and https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-tabtip-exe-in-windows-10-anniversary-edition

    Surely this must be a very simple thing to do and I am just too unfamiliar with my pen to know how to do it (I only got it for Christmas). So how can I create a program shortcut or keyboard shortcut to bring up the Touch Keyboard?

    How to fix emoji keyboard not showing up using shortcut

    Hi,

    This issue is often caused by a corrupted or missing data file. To better isolate if this is a user profile specific or an emerging issue, we suggest that you create a new user profile and try to use the same keyboard shortcut to get the emoji keyboard to
    show up. Here's the link for the steps on how to:
    Set up accounts
    .

    In the meantime, we'll give you the steps for a workaround to access the emojis. Here are the steps:

    • Right-click on the Taskbar.
    • Select the Show touch keyboard button option and a keyboard icon will show up on your
      Taskbar.
    • Click the keyboard icon and select the emoji button.

    Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.
