Windows 10: How do I make the Windows 10 touch keyboard repeat keys when holding down the letters?

Basically, I need to be able to hold down a touch key so that it repeats like I would using a real physical keyboard. The problem is, the touch keyboard brings up a list of similar-looking letters for typing letters from other languages when you press down on the key.

I can't just hold on "a" to type "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" on Notepad.

Is there a setting to change this?

Touch keyboard press and hold for accented letters - missing accents

In Windows 10 with a English UK locale selected (although the issue applies it to various other layouts) I select the show touch keyboard button from context-clicking on the task bar. When the touch keyboard shows I can enter accented letters by pressing
and hold a key. For example press and hold n to get the ability to enter ñ.

However, press and hold s gives š but no ŝ (which is a shame - I was rather hoping for ŝ). The c key has the inverse problem - there is ĉ, but č is missing. And u misses ŭ and other accents. And so forth - the problem is the choice of accented letters.
Of course not all of Unicode and all languages can be supported by the generic press and hold popups, but trying to be objective, I'd suggest (based on the CEN Workshop Agreement CWA 13873:2000) the press and holds give access to the following letters: ß áâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿāăąćĉċčďđēėęěĝğġģĥħĩīįıijĵķĸĺļľŀłńņňʼnŋōőœŕŗřśŝşšșţťŧțũūŭůűųŵŷźżž

Would it be possible to raise a bug or an improvement request to Microsoft for this?

 

Hold Key Doesn't Repeat in Every Application in WIndows 10

I am using Dell XPS13 9360 running Windows 10 with everything up to date (Windows update, Dell update, Bios, Intel Chipset, etc).

Recently, possibly after last bios upgrade, holding keys no longer repeat properly in every applications. A few examples:

• Office 2016 - backspace repeats but arrow and delete keys don't
  
• Chrome/IE11 - nothing repeats
  
• Edge - all keys repeat as expected
  

I tried all the suggestions around ticking or unticking "User Filter Keys" option. It didn't solve the problem. On-screen keyboard has the same behavior

The only way to "fix" the issue is to uninstall all keyboard drivers in device manager and reboot following the prompt. Once the PC is back up, every key repeats normal, but only till the next reboot where the issue reoccurs.

Is there anything else I can try to solve the problem once for all?
