DaDesktop

Cannot type certain characters (apostrophes, quotation marks, inverted commas) on a DaDesktop machine

This frustrating issue crops up only occasionally, but it depends on your physical keyboard type, language layout, and regional settings.

This is a Windows only Issue

You can resolve it by doing the following:

  1. Open the Windows search bar and type 'Settings'.
  2. Select 'Time & Language'.
  3. Then, on the left-hand side, click the language menu item.
  4. Under 'Preferred Languages', choose your preferred language and then select 'Options'.
  5. Next, click 'Add a keyboard', and pick the layout that matches your physical keyboard (for example, US keyboard layout).
  6. Remove any old keyboard layouts by clicking each one and selecting 'Remove'.
  7. Finally, test by typing a single quote (' ' '), quotation marks (' " '), and inverted commas (`).
