My windows keyboard is being "clever" with the quote keys - how can I stop it?
- by Marcin
I'm using windows 7 on a laptop. On the laptop keyboard, for some reason, the quote key (which has both double and single quote on it) is doing some "clever" annoying things:
When I press single-quote (or double-quote), windows doesn't send any characters until I press it twice (resulting in '' or "")
When I press it before a vowel, I get some kind of accented character. As I usually only write English, this is annoying.
The backtick/tilde key is subject to similar behaviour.
I have not attempted to set up my computer to process anything other than English. My keyboard appears to be (in so far as these things are standard on laptops) a standard US qwerty keyboard.
How can I stop this happening?
