    esc key


    I have no idea what I did, but now I when I hit my esc key I get the HP System Information window. In order for me to get the normal esc key function, I have to hit Shift + esc. Can someone help me undo this?

    :)

    E71 - [TAB] and [ESC] key

    hi gerrymoth, thanks for your suggestion+reply. just to be sure, from the short read I had about magickey, it seems to be used to remap keys, am I right? my problem is that I have no idea if [TAB] and [ESC] do even exist on the E71 and if they do, I'd
    be more than happy to know where they're hiding...

    Where is the esc key on the onscreen keyboard? [SOLVED]

    Doesn't one just love how useless these communities are? Microsoft, Google and then some could learn a great deal from companies like OnePlus that actually listen to their community. Anyway, here it goes. Again.

    The default onscreen keyboard in Windows 10 on tablets has no Esc, numpad (Del, End, etc.) or function (F1, F2, ...) keys. Also notice how one can't combine the Ctrl and shift keys.

    This question was already raised in 2012 (link 1 below). This is actually funny.. A "Volunteer Moderator" suggested to use the F11 key instead. Eventually a sensible user provided the OSK workaround. Mind that Win 10 was released in 2015. In
    that year it was raised again (link 2 below) and it was condescendingly "misunderstood" and eventually locked without any answer.

    Link 2: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...keyboard/09cf0d5d-a7ee-4763-a5a2-904b3ba402ae

    When searching for "keyboard" in "Windows Settings", it reads "Search results aren't quite ready yet, but we're working on getting them together. Try back in a few minutes.". Can someone explain to me why Android is miles ahead in intuitivity and functionality?

    But guess what; there's a solution!

    • Open Windows Settings
    • Tap Devices
    • Tap Typing
    • Scroll down to Touch keyboard
    • Enable Add the standard keyboard layout as a touch keyboard option
    • Pull up the keyboard
    • Tap the input key bottom right
    • Tap the far right keyboard option (yes, the one that was disabled by default)
    You're welcome =)
