Windows 10: When i do the shortcut for the vertical line it types the ~ instead for both the US english...

How do i fix that

:)

 

Horizontal and Vertical typing line

I don't know how to explain this, but very, very rarely the normal vertical line typing thing just changes into a horizontal line.

To explain this, just type something in your browser. Notice that before every letter typed there is a vertical line representing where the letter will be.

What very rarely happens is it changes into a horizontal line instead. It makes it so if you click on a letter, instead of a vertical line going either to the left or right of the letter, it instead selects the letter and makes it so if you type something,
you change the letter instead of typing one.

This is NOT dragging your cursor on text selecting it, it is a completely different way of typing that I don't know how to reset.
