    All of the sudden yesterday, holding down a key won't constantly make that character be spammed in whatever text box you're typing it into. Why? What can I do to stop it?

    backspace speed

    Hi heisserman,

    I’m sorry that you’re having this issue. I just want to make sure I understand the issue correctly. If you are to tap the delete\backspace key rapidly, it deletes at a higher rate, right? If you hold down the backspace key, it’s erasing one character, and isn’t
    speeding up to erase quicker?

    Let me know, and we’ll try to find a fix!

    Keyboard Software - Deletes like iOS when backspace is held


    Here's the typical, "sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forum," part. I wasn't sure if it should go here or general, so please move it, if appropriate.

    Anyone that has typed on iOS knows that if you a bunch of words typed and hold the backspace key, it initally deletes 1 character at a time, then as it is continued to be held, it continues deleting 1 character at a time, but it deletes more quickly. Ultimately, while still holding the backspace key, it starts to delete whole words, then more quickly until it starts deleting full sentences. I love the way that works. *Biggrin

    My question is if there is any type of a software or tweak for Windows 10 that could mimic that. I know that if you hold ctrl+backspace in Windows, if will delete words at a time, but I really like the way iOS kind of escalates up through the backspaces.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks, All!
