Florisjuh 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 You know in Windows XP, when you press any of the reading signs like ", ', ^ etc, it will stick to the next letter you type if its an e, i, o etc.I kinda hate this behavior, since its irritating when you write code and stuff or if you play games it will "eat" these characters. So, does anyone know how to turn of this behavior since I looked trough the entire Control Panel but couldnt find anything about it. :[ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amezis 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 You mean that:^ + e = ?? + i = ?or...?That's just because people that are actually writing and using these letters needs it, and normally, people don't use them for anything else... ^^ are maybe used as smilies though...

Ao)K-General 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 Something had happened with netscape. I would type and when I typed, for some reason the cursor thingy would make it go back so I would type what I wanted. The letters would be in a different order. I couldn't type anything like that. And it wasn't me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alperuzi 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2005 those are used very rarely, even in programming, what code are you writing? and different editors behave differently so you may want to try other editors rather than trying to find a solution from windows.

(Dont ell me to switch to linux cuz I really wanna do that but I share this computer) If you put something in qoutetation marks it will stick to the key, if you type something in a program that doesnt support these special signs you'll get letters falling off which looks stupid, and I never use the signs anyway (Dutch and english dont have much words with these signs onto them as with French or german). When you type very fast you'll prolly hit these keys sometimes and if they would just apear they would be easier to spot, but when they stick on a letter its much harder to get them out..

alperuzi 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2005 I tried this with ? on a bunch of different programs and your right, it seems to be a windows behaviour. Funny that I don't get it too often though, probably because I'm using Turkish language on a German laptop keyboard and the keys are waay different...
