    Tilde/BackTick Key


    Hey,



    so recently something happened with my keyboard layout, basically I used to be able to just press down the tilde key/Backtick key and I would automatically get the tilde symbol ~ . now ever since I restarted my Pc literally less than 24hrs from writing this, I have to hold down " Shift + ` " to get the tilde symbol. I'm just a little bit confused because I haven't changed any settings or anything when it comes to languages or even shortcuts, nor do I have any macro's set. I use the English US QWERTY Layout. Does anybody know what could've happened or what to do? I play RPG games and its just kind of frustrating because " ~ " is what all of my console Key binds are set too, and some I cant change.


    -Thank you

    :)

    tilde key and hash

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.

    Let me help to fix the issue.

    Let’s try simple troubleshooting steps and check if this helps. To switch the tilde key to different key, I would suggest you to go to the game settings and check if you can do it. If you are not able to switch the key please contact the game support
    team for further assistance.

    If you need further assistance with Windows in future, let us know and will be happy to help.

    Tilde/BackTick Key

    Spanish keyboard - no tilde

    Thank you, but I do want auto correct and suggestions in Spanish. What I'd like is that these features didn't include tildes or something that removed all the tildes before sending the SMS. If you include a single tilde in the message, the max length drops
    from 160 to 70!
