  1. Pressing Backspace deletes a letter from left as well as from right


    When I press the backspace button, anything on either side starts to delete as it would normally. So if I have to correct something and I press backspace it deletes a letter to the left and the right each time I press it

  2. Backspace ,delete and arrow long press not working

    Usually when the backspace key is pressed for more than a second , it starts deleting the characters to its left continuously, however in my new windows 10 laptop(acer spin 5) this isn't working, the same is the case for delete and the arrow keys. Is this
    an OS or driver issue

  3. Deleting Text - Like Backspace, and Delete!

    I've just noticed this while I was trying to paste some info into a text message, but pressed the wrong button...

    If you hold down the Pencil button and press 'C' it deletes the opposite to normal - so deletes text from the right, rather than the left. (Like the difference between Backspace & Delete on PCs)

    Not heard it mentioned before, so thought I'd let people know about it.

    Pressing Backspace deletes a letter from left as well as from right

    My cursor freezes or disappears randomly and my backspace key has suddenly not deleted multiple letters.

    My cursor freezes or disappears randomly and often. I press the F5 key to get it back.

    My backspace key has suddenly not deleted multiple letters.

    I am totally frustrated. Can anyone help?!?!?!?
