Windows 10: French letters all of a sudden showing up after accidentally hitting some combination of keys

I don't feel Microsoft is adequately addressing this question. Itès not just a matter of going into Language Settings to fix the problem. My problem happens when I accidentally hit some combination of keys, and like a shortcut, French letters start appearing when I press punctuation marks, for exampleQuestion mark ÉApostrophe èFront slash éBackslash àQuotation mark ÈNote colon and semi-colon do not work at all when this happensI have English Canada selected under Language Settings, because I live in Canada and want to be able to type French letters occasionally. And itès been absolutely no

Use of a french canadian layout Wedge bluetooth keyboard with iOS8, is it possible?

Hello,

I have bought a Wedge bluetooth keyboard with a french canadian layout. In this layout, differently from all other french layouts, accents are made with only one key and necessitate the strike of a letter before the accentuated letter appears. In Windows
7, in language et keyboard settings, this layout is called "Français (Canada)". To be precise this also a layout where you have to hit "Alt-car+2" to have the "@" sign.

You can see the keyboard and it's layout here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CM0cbAcWoAAxw9h.jpg:large

When I connect this Wedge keyboard to an iPad on iOS8, it appears and works when I hit keys but doesn't seem to have the right layout in memory because when I hit the "`" (accent) key, it types directly è instead of waiting for me to type another letter
as this layout would require. Also, all the symbols that can be accessed with a "shift+(number)" stroke are wrong and don't give the result there supposed to. When I go in keyboard settings of the iPad, it says I use a "Français canadien (CSA)" layout on the
keyboard. Other french layouts offered in the iPad are AZERTY layouts which are definitly wrong as the keyboard is a QWERTY.

My question: is it possible to have use the french canadian wedge keyboard with an iPad and have the key write exactly what they show (i.e. the "shift+3" combination gives "/" just like the keyboard displays on the key and not "#" as I get on the screen
of the iPad when I use the keyboard) ?

EDIT: I understand that special functions like PLAY or the WINDOWS key won't work as I am not using the keyboard with a Windows environnement but a keyboard that types something else than what the keys show as typing combinations is useless. If it is not
possible to use as I would be able to type on a computer (without the functions, understandably), I will return the keyboard.

 

Left arrow key hits a random combination of keys

i don't know how to best describe it, so i'll start from the beginning.

i was playing Google Earth VR when all of a sudden the music gave out. i looked at my desktop, and nothing seemed wrong until i tried clicking around and opening my browser. for some reason, something was constantly muting and unmuting my computer's sound
and typing the | key, no matter where i went.

i attempted to unplug and replug the keyboard, no fix. uninstalled and reinstalled drivers for my mouse, keyboard, and sound, no fix. i attempted to go back to a back-up- which failed, for some reason- and i eventually did a soft reset and reinstalled windows.
nothing changed until i fully powered off my PC, unplugged it, and opened it up to see if something was lying on a cable *somewhere*.

now, everything seems fine... except that whenever i hit my left arrow key, it instead does what seems to be a combination of hitting shift, enter, 5, and the the backslash/vertical bar key all at once.

 

Key combinations confusion

Maybe it would help if I illustrate my question with an example.

Currently, if I press Win+Up on my laptop, a MaximizeWindow is executed. However:

• If I execute Win+/ (to display all key combinations involving the Windows key), Win+Up says "No action" (which isn't correct, because it executes MaximizeWindow).
  
• And, if I go into PowerToys / Keyboard Manager, Keyboard Manager is enabled but there are no key combinations listed under either Remap A Key or Remap a shortcut.
  

So, how was Win+Up remapped? And where should I remap it, if I want it to do something else? Any why isn't it showing up when I press Win+/?
