  1. Tapping Text Input with stylus doesn't bring up touch keyboard, but tapping with finger does


    I am having trouble with a windows 11 tablet. The onscreen keyboard appears when I press text inputs with my finger, but not with my stylus.Originally, the onscreen keyboard stopped appearing when clicking on text inputs at all. I went to:Time & Language > Typing > Touch Keyboard > Show the touch keyboardand changed this to "always" instead of "when no keyboard attached". That seemed to do the trick when using my finger.It seems Windows thinks there is a keyboard attached when there is not.When I go to:Bluetooth & devices > Pen & Windows Ink> Handwriting panel settin

    Disable Automatic Activation of Touch Keyboard

    Typically I use the stylus as a mouse to put the cursor In a specific location. My fingers are frequently too fat to get the cursor where I need it even in touch mode. This keyboard popup opens every time I touch the screen to a field that will accept
    text in both tablet and regular modes. Would really like to find away to use the stylus as a pointer without having the popup continually open.

  3. Surface Pen inconsistent with bringing up handwriting interface for text field input

    I'm experiencing an issue with using the Surface Pen for text field input where it doesn't properly bring up the handwriting interface in two ways. The first issue that was occurring was that the pen would only bring up the on-screen keyboard, no writing
    interface. When I manually switch the mode to handwriting, a new but seemingly related issue comes up where my Surface is unable to bring up the correct input mode whether I tap a text field with my pen or my finger: tapping a field with my pen the first time
    would bring up a keyboard while subsequent taps will bring up the handwriting interface, and tapping a field with my finger afterwards would bring up the handwriting interface first instead with the onscreen keyboard appearing with subsequent finger taps.
    If I switch back and forth between pen and finger, the interface that appears is not consistent at all and would bring up the wrong input mode for each type of tap choice.

    The only setting I can see that could possibly affect this issue is the dropdown menu in Pen & Windows Ink allowing me to change when the handwriting interface appears for "When the keyboard isn't attached" or "Only in tablet mode." Both options have the
    issue appear, even after connecting and disconnecting my cover keyboard. Are there other options to toggle that could solve this issue?

    Double Tap doesn`t work on Lumia 620

    Hello,

    Double Tap to wake doesn`t work at my Lumia 620. I have all on in settings but still doesn`t work. I`m pretty sure that in update AMBER or BLACK this function works properly. But after DENIM update doesn`t. Maybe you are planning some update for this future
    ?

    Thanks
