    Cannot type é using key combination ´+e (problem with diacritics)


    Hello there,

    I just found out that the dead keys on some of our computers do not work properly. Via osk the input does not work as well.

    I compared the settings with another one that is working just fine and tried it the same way.

    By typing + e I still get "e" instead of "".

    The only difference I was able to find was the OS (which I am excluding - another one does not work as well) and some bloatware.

    I also tried with "German (Germany)" keyboard and language settings.

    Does someone know a way to enable / disable dead keys in keyboard settings or something like that? Could it be possible that some tasks can cause dead keys not to work?

    Settings / Specs - Working:
    OS: Win10 Pro - 2004 Build 19041.2
    Active Languages: German (Suisse), German (Germany), French (Suisse)
    Windows Display Language: German (Suisse)
    Region: Suisse
    Format: Use Windows Display Language
    Keyboard: German (Suisse), German (Germany), French (Suisse)

    Thanks in advance!

    How to type these diacritics in Arabic keyboard?

    Hi, I am unable to find the keys to type certain diacritics in Arabic. For example,

    <ـٰ> Alif Khanjariyah (superscript/dagger Alif ⟨أَلِف خَنْجَرِيَّة⟩

    <ـٓ> Maddah Tilde-like diacritic ⟨مَدَّة⟩

    I have tried both 101 & 102 (Saudi Arabia) Keyboards layouts in windows 10. But could not find any key for those diacritics!

    How to type these diacritics in Arabic keyboard?

    Hi Monica,

    I am developing an uwp app, in which the user should be able to type the those characters in the textbox shown in my app. For example, user will press letter l to type arabic letter م. Similarly user will type l then Q to type arabic letter م with diacritic
    fathha like this: مَ (Meem with Fathha). All things are well okay.

    But I am unable to find the Long Alif & Madda diacritics. Where can I find those in windows keyboards?

    NB: It is not programming oriented question. It is about, what keys user should press to get those diacritics, in any textbox or in search box of google in a browser, to name some scenarios.

    Cannot type é using key combination ´+e (problem with diacritics)

    Modifying the right ALT key on my French Canadian Keyboard (Windows 10)

    I am trying to modifying the right ALT key to obtain ã (Portuguese tilde on a)

    It already exists with the combination of ALT+ right square Bracket, and the choosing the lower a or caps a.

    What I would like to do is to use the ALT key + (the column and semi-column key) to get the
    ã directly in one step.

    (This is the most common letter I need - I do not need Ã)

    So what is the best step to do that mod???

    Thanks for the help
