    Arrow keys started highlighting text

    You need to turn off NumLock to stop this behaviour . . .

    Normal behavior for a keyboard is arrow keys move cursor on text, if the Shift key is pressed using arrow keys text is highlighted, the Numlock Key simulates the Shift key being pressed!

    I Hope this Helps!

    Is there a key to delete character ahead of the cursor?

    Hello Stephen,

    As of the moment, deleting the characters next to the cursor is unavailable. You can only delete characters by moving the cursor to the right side. You can always send a suggestion via Feedback Hub app so that it can be added or included on the next update.

    To send a feedback on your phone, you can follow the steps below:

    1. Go to All Apps, search for the Feedback
      Hub app.
    2. Open the menu icon at the top left side.
    3. Select Feedback, then at the top right side, tap the
      add       button (+).
    4. Select Suggestion and fill up the box with the details of the feature you want to be added on Windows phone.
    5. Select the right category for the suggestion and then submit.

    Should you need more help, feel free to ask the Community.

    Windows 10 Home: Cursor highlights character when I move it with arrow keys

    Cursor Pointer does not move by Arrow-keys on the keyboard:

    Good morning

    My laptop is (Toshiba / Satellite / C55-A-1MW / PSCGJE), which comes with the keyboard (102-key / European layouts / Norwegian language), and (Windows 8.1 / 64-bit).

    After i have upgraded to (Windows 10 / Home), the arrow-keys on the right to the touch-pad stopped to function!

    Now i dis-activated the (NUM-LOCK), and use the arrows on the numeric keypad: (8 for: Up, 2 for: Down, 4 for: Left, 6 for: Right).

    Notes:

    1. Now, even when i open BIOS before Windows to startup, the arrows on the numeric keypad is the only available way to move the cursor.

    2. These arrow-keys do not function both whether when the (Scroll lock key) is activated or not.

    How to make the (Arrow-keys) function? Please advise.

    Thank you in advance.

    Have a nice day ...
