Windows 10 keyboard config

[daveza]

This is really not supposed to be so difficult !



My Win 10 is set to use English South Africa.

When I type apostrophes or inverted commas they don't register unless I press space after each one.

So Google says that's because my keyboard is set to US-International.

I must change that to just US - then I must change my language to English United Kingdom.

If I change to English UK then my @ and " keys are swapped.



Is this a keyboard config problem, a language config problem or both ?

I have found that it is better to match the settings to the physical keyboard layout and then decide on the language settings you want as default.
Havingvsaid that, I have a problem at the moment with my ACER laptop, that reverted to defaults after a recent ACER series of driver updates. I have not got around to seeing what else has changed, only noticed some of the function keys are no longer the way I like them to be.

Not at all complicated, just approach the settings issues logically and everything falls into place. Take shortcuts and pay the penalty.

I have used a small app called 'SharpKeys' to re-assign keys on my PC when using non-standard keyboards - like the Logitech ones that for some obscure reason, have a secondary '| \' key right where the left 'Shift' key is...
