Windows 10: I have to type twice, to be able to write some punctuations.

To able to write following `` "" '' ~~ ^^ marks i have to type twice. And if type once then type a letter it comes out like á à é è Ä Ã Â Ë Ê these. For lower case characters I don't even press shift or any other control buttons, I just press ' aposthrope then letter to be able to write 'a' but it comes out as á.

I have formatted my pc and used a different keyboard but it didn't work.

Please help me it takes twice as much time to write.

Thanks.

:)

 

Punctuation

I had the exact same issue when I had US keyboard loaded, i had to press the space bar after each punctuation symbol.

Loading a UK keyboard is not the solution as you have seen as the @ and " are in different places on a UK keyboard

Go back to the language settings in Control Panel and add the US Touch keyboard, move it to the top of the list and delete the UK keyboard, then reboot.

Now the @ and " will be in the correct place and there will be no need to hit the spacebar after punctuation . . .

 

Text Prediction and punctuation marks [N97]

Thanks guys for your posts!



@The_Funkateer

If you imagine that the same word is automatically saved to the custom dictionary but with various punctuation marks at the end - you have the answer.

You can notice that always the last used punctuation mark is used.

And sometimes when you insert a word and a punctuation mark and you use * you will see that a totally different word with the same punctuation may appear (if the word has the same combination of keys).

I suppose and I think I'm right that N95 treats "word + punctuation" as a completely new word and moreover the phone saves it automatically and secretly to the custom dictionary even if we don't want them to be saved.

Sure, but it has nothing in common with the beta version of Custom Dict.

In my case the Dict works as expected.

It just helped me to discover what is on the list of my custom words and I was really shocked to see over 2000 words (each word repeated several times with different punctuations at the end).

You can make tests to notice what happens every time when you are writing a message.

Insert a word, add a punctuation and use * several times.

Then use the Custom Dict app to edit the list of custom words.



@foxmeister

Thanks for the info.

As I can see you are now using the N900.

Does it work better in N900?

 

Unable to find Symbols and punctuation marks in Bangla(India) keyboard language

Hi Mohammad,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to type symbols and punctuation marks using the Bengali keyboard language. Currently the symbols and punctuations are not available for Bengali in script language.



However, based on the screen shot you have provided, I see that you are using MS Word application to type in Bengali. Assuming that you are using the application most of the time to type, I can provide a much simpler solution to
type symbols and punctuations while using Bengali keyboard.



We need to create shortcuts for the symbols to insert them. You can follow the steps mentioned below to create the shortcuts for symbols.

1. Open MS Word application and click on
   Insert tab.
   
2. Now click on the top right corner select
   Symbol and then click on More Symbols.
   
3. Now select any Symbol and click on the
   Shortcut Key button under Euro Sign.
   
4. Now under Press new shortcut key section tap the key combination
   Ctrl + Key (any key which is convenient for you).
   
5. Now click on Assign and click on
   Close.
   

Note:
To add a shortcut Ctrl combination is needed to be used.



Also, I suggest you to post your valuable feedback using the
feedback hub app
on Windows 10, as the suggestions will help many users to improve their user experience while using Bengali keyboard.



Hope it helps.
