  2. Spanish keyboard - no tilde

    Hi,

    Is there a way to use a Spanish keyboard (Spain or Mexico) but avoid getting suggestions and autocorrect with tildes (á, é, í, ó, ú)?

    The problem with this is that a tilde needs another charset and thus the max length for a SMS is greatly reduced. If I use an English keyboard, I obviously wo't get suggestions and autocorrect in Spanish. I don't mind sacrificing a bit of spelling (losing
    tildes) if I can get more text in a SMS.

    Thanks,

    Gabriel

  3. 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.
