    Can't type in double quotation marks with Shift + '


    Hello, I recently realized that when I try and type in a double quotation mark with Shift + ', I won't do anything. I was doing homework when I found out and now I'm extremely concerned about my computer. I've checked my keyboards on my laptop and they work perfectly fine so I'm assuming it has to do with my windows settings or something around there?I tried uninstalling keyboard drivers through the device manager and reinstalling them but the problem is still here.What should I do to fix this?

    :)

    Shift key doesn`t change apostrophe to double quotation marks

    I cannot find a way to have double quotation marks appear in MS word. I am running Windows 10 and have tried changing the language, gone into the settings under auto-correct options and I still can't figure it out. Could someone please help.

  3. Can't type quotation marks (")

    Hi,

    Normally when using US (International keyboard) settings, typing [ Shift + ' + Space ] gives you [ " ]. However, for me both typing [ ' + Space] and typing [ Shift + ' + Space ] all give me [ ' ]. In order to type a quotation mark, my only option is to
    type [ Shift + ' + ' ], which gives me [ ' " ], and then I can delete the single quote. I have tried different keyboard settings, but they don't fix the problem. Does anybody know how I can fix the issue? Please, feel free to ask for any additional information
    if needed.

    Dumb Windows 10 quotation mark input

    I've tired to fight against Windows 10 input method. It's stupid and extremely irritating. I have English United States-International keyboard and when I press ' or Shift+' no characters are printed to input. Only when I press the same key again again it
    outputs two same characters. So when I want to put some thing to quotation mark I must do next steps:

    • Press Shift+'
    • Press Shift+'
    • Press left arrow
    • Input text
    • Press right arrow
    Compare with previous flow

    • Press Shift+'
    • Input text
    • Press Shift+'
    Looks much more simple? Yes? So, what the hell made you MS to "improve" quotation mark inputting? And so what I have to do if I just <removed> want to input only one quotation mark character? Press Shift+' twice and after then backspace? Are you <removed>
    crazy? Where in settings maze are you hiding option to fix this issue? Who is that "genius" who invented this <removed>? When MS hired this "genius" did
    the interview checked competency or there was
    senseless questions like "Why manhole covers are typically round"? Who did approve this "genius" improvement? Are you <removed>OK?
