Windows 8 doubling accents and diacritical marks
- by Time Sheep
I don't know what I installed, but I must have installed something that caused Windows to act this way.
Normally when I press the button with either of the characters below
¨ ^ ~ ´ `
Windows types 2 of the character. Because of this, I cannot type in accented characters without using a keymap. Since my surname contains a diarhesis (U-umlaut), this feature is quite essential to me. Several of my friends claim to have had this problem before using Windows 7 as well, but never found a solution apart from reinstalling Windows.
How do I get my beloved accented characters back?
