Windows 10: Windows 10 Latin American Keyboard

Hello, I´ve just recently decided to change to the Latin american keyboard layout on my computer with an English layout. I downloaded the pack that let me do so, and for the most part, I´ve been able to change the keys to something that makes sense with the new layout. However, all models I´ve seen of the Latin american keyboard includes an extra key (between shift and the z key) that has the greater than/less than signs, which are super important for Spanish dialogue. I understand switching languages for things that are in one language and not the other (apostrophes, for example), but these symbols are hugely important in Spanish and I can´t find them! Are they located somewhere on the keyboard that I haven´t found yet?

Latin American keyboard no longer has "open question mark" available in text (abc) keyboard

After upgrading to Windows 10 1709 Latin American configuration of on-screen keyboard no longer carries open question mark (¿). The only way to type it is switching to numeric which makes a very cumbersome process typing Spanish text.

Should I switch to another keyboard layout to get that character in main keyboard? How can I raise the issue to Microsoft development?

Also I can get a full keyed on-screen keyboard (very welcomed addition, but more prone to typing errors as key sizes are shrinked) if I choose input "Spanish", but not available for "Latin American". How come Microsoft added that option for 46 million Spaniards
but left 650 million Latin Americans without it?

 

Latin American Spanish Keyboard fails to write accents on Windows 10

Hi there. Every time I try to use the Latin American Spanish Keyboard I can't write accents in some applications such as web browsers and Microsoft Office, nevertheless it does work for others such as Skype, Telegram, and Notepad.

The problem is that if I type accent key+vocal the result is the vocal without an accent. I can get the accents activated for a few seconds if I type two times the accent key: ´´. Then it fails again.

I have made sure I am using the correct language: ESP-Español Teclado Latinoamérica.

I have downloaded the International Spanish keyboard, Español (España, Internacional), and that one works just fine.

I have downloaded once more the Latin American keyboard but the problem persists.

I have noticed that if I change to a different keyboard and go back to Latin American it works for a few seconds and then it fails again (same as when I type ´´).

I even thought this might be a virus so I ran an antivirus scan and a malware scan but nothing was found. Honestly, this seems to be a bug than anything else. Any hints on how to fix this?

 

Latin American Spanish Keyboard fails to write accents on Windows 10

Hi Sher,

Thank you for pointing out that this could be a conflict with a third party program. It was indeed. I pinned down the program and uninstalled it; it was Phrase Express. After rebooting the PC the Latin American keyboard is back to normal.

Thank you!
