Solved Strange problem with keyboard

[emilyan2010]

Hello. Each time i try to press on shift and ' , instead of instantly appearing ", it does not appear anything. Only after i press another button, the symbol " appears. Same if i just press ' , i must press another button to make ' to appear. This thing occured after i reinstalled windows. Hope you understand what i have written here. Thanks for a future reply


EDIT: there is a strange thing here. I changed the keyboard from United States - International as default input language to US, and the problem has disapeared. I wonder why?

Glad I was able to help you out with this problem.




No, joking. I don't have any idea. Google? Different regions have different keyboard layouts. Perhaps this is why.

Creating international characters

When you press the APOSTROPHE ( ' ) key, QUOTATION MARK ( " ) key, ACCENT GRAVE ( ` ) key, TILDE ( ~ ) key, or ACCENT CIRCUMFLEX,. also called the CARET key, ( ^ ) key, nothing is displayed on the screen until you press a second key:

• If you press one of the letters designated as eligible to receive an accent mark, the accented version of the letter appears.
• If you press the key of a character that is not eligible to receive an accent mark, two separate characters appear.
• If you press the space bar, the symbol (apostrophe, quotation mark, accent grave, tilde, accent circumflex or caret) is displayed by itself.

So here was the problem i guess... Thanks for help
