  1. Where is the esc key on the onscreen keyboard? [SOLVED]


    Doesn't one just love how useless these communities are? Microsoft, Google and then some could learn a great deal from companies like OnePlus that actually listen to their community. Anyway, here it goes. Again.


    The default onscreen keyboard in Windows 10 on tablets has no Esc, numpad (Del, End, etc.) or function (F1, F2, ...) keys. Also notice how one can't combine the Ctrl and shift keys.


    This question was already raised in 2012 (link 1 below). This is actually funny.. A "Volunteer Moderator" suggested to use the F11 key instead. Eventually a sensible user provided the OSK workaround. Mind that Win 10 was released in 2015. In that year it was raised again (link 2 below) and it was condescendingly "misunderstood" and eventually locked without any answer.

    When searching for "keyboard" in "Windows Settings", it reads "Search results aren't quite ready yet, but we're working on getting them together. Try back in a few minutes.". Can someone explain to me why Android is miles ahead in intuitivity and functionality?


    But guess what; there's a solution!

    • Open Windows Settings
    • Tap Devices
    • Tap Typing
    • Scroll down to Touch keyboard
    • Enable Add the standard keyboard layout as a touch keyboard option
    • Pull up the keyboard
    • Tap the input key bottom right
    • Tap the far right keyboard option (yes, the one that was disabled by default)

    You're welcome =)

    :)

    where is the esc key on the onscreen keyboard?

    Where is the ESC, ALT and WIN keys on the surface book onscreen Touch keyboard?

    Note: I found the full keyboard in Control Panel>Ease of Access center but this keyboard does not seem to be accessible from the Touch keyboard icon on the taskbar

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Attached is a screen shot of the lower half of my desktop with the Touch keyboard displayed. To orient you, the desktop is in landscape and my taskbar (brown band) is docked on the right side of the screen. As you can see there is no esc, alt or win key
    on the Touch keyboard. The &123 and emoticon key show additional keys, but no esc, alt or win key.
