Windows 10: Pressing multiple times on the space bar followed by a letter it gives me the accents for...

Pressing multiple times on the space bar followed by a letter it gives me the accents for them, how do I get ride of that?

:)

 

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?

 

Accents only work half the time

I've been having a very odd issue on an HP pavilion laptop running Windows 10 1903.

When I press the accent keys (´/` and ~/^), followed by a letter ("a", for example), some times an accented letter will be written, but most times an unaccented letter will be written. What happens at any given keypress seems completely random.

Here is a sample for each accent key:

I initially thought this might be an hardware issue, but if I press the accent keys twice it will always print the accent character twice by itself (normal behaviour). Additionally:

• Only the Portuguese language is installed, with the Portuguese keyboard selected;
  
• I have tried re-installing Windows multiple times, and the issue persists.
  

I am stumped, how is this possible? What could cause this and how could this be fixed?

 

When you plan to update the touch keyboard to type greek accented letters?

Hi George,

This issue that started after the last Windows 10 update might be caused by software incompatibility. For us to better assist you, we would like to ask the following:

• How are you accessing the Greek accented letters on touch keyboard before?
• Are there any error messages displayed when trying to access the Greek accented letters?
• If possible, can you give us an example screenshot of the Greek accented letters?

Meanwhile, we need to make sure that the Greek keyboard is added on the language settings. To check if the Greek keyboard is added, follow these steps:

• Click the Start button and select the Settings
  icon.
• Choose Time & Language from the list.
• Select Region & language in the left pane of the window.
• Under Languages, make sure that the Greek keyboard is added.

We're looking forward to your reply.
