  1. Press and holding down a key on my keyboard causes the letter to repeat very quickly


    My friends were on my PC before and they did random things and now I noticed that when pressing and holding a key, the key repeats itself really quickly as if someone is pressing the key super fast over and over again. I tried checking the settings to see if my friends changed anything but I saw nothing. I went to keyboard settings to see if sticky-keys or filter-keys were enabled or anything but it was all the same. How can I fix this?P.S. could be my friends didn't change anything - when they first turned on my PC there was an update and ever since that update I noticed the issue.I'm on Wind

    :)

    Touch keyboard press and hold for accented letters - missing accents

    In Windows 10 with a English UK locale selected (although the issue applies it to various other layouts) I select the show touch keyboard button from context-clicking on the task bar. When the touch keyboard shows I can enter accented letters by pressing
    and hold a key. For example press and hold n to get the ability to enter ñ.

    However, press and hold s gives š but no ŝ (which is a shame - I was rather hoping for ŝ). The c key has the inverse problem - there is ĉ, but č is missing. And u misses ŭ and other accents. And so forth - the problem is the choice of accented letters.
    Of course not all of Unicode and all languages can be supported by the generic press and hold popups, but trying to be objective, I'd suggest (based on the CEN Workshop Agreement CWA 13873:2000) the press and holds give access to the following letters: ß áâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿāăąćĉċčďđēėęěĝğġģĥħĩīįıijĵķĸĺļľŀłńņňʼnŋōőœŕŗřśŝşšșţťŧțũūŭůűųŵŷźżž

    Would it be possible to raise a bug or an improvement request to Microsoft for this?
