Tablets :: Metro Style OnScreen Keyboard Size And Monitor Selection

Oct 6, 2013

As a Multi-Monitor user I'm currently plagues with 3 Problems concerning the Metro Style OnScreenKeyboard.

1. For most of the time it appears on the wrong Monitor - Not the one with touch capability thus forcing me to manually move it over to the right screen which, at best, is annoying.

It appears it's kind of bound to where the Start Screen currently resides but it would be a lot more useful if it could be tied to one screen.

2. On 2 of my Screens it takes up about - the screen space limiting their usefulness while on my other 2 about - which is more desireable - what triggers this behavior and how can I control it?

3. Is there an option to force the OSK to keep the last setting of which Keyboard I've used? It keeps reverting to the simple one when I'd like to use the Advanced one.

Tablets :: Touchscreen Monitor - OnScreen Keyboard Layout

Oct 12, 2013

Does Windows 8 control the layout of the on-screen keyboard of a touchscreen monitor? Or is it the monitor? An online retailer is advertising the monitor as having the QWERTZ layout, but I am used to QWERTY and want to be sure that I can change it.

Tablets :: OnScreen Keyboard Opacity And Shortcut

May 18, 2013

I've a tablet with Windows 8, the resolution is not so hight.. 1280x800 pixels.

I use it mostly for play a game where is needed to write a lot, and I use the OnScreen Keyboard for do that.

The problems are two:

1. I can't use the game with full screen mode because I can't call the keyboard with Volume Up + Windows key, despite I've configured this shortcut in Windows' options...

2. I'd like to make the keyboard not 100% opaque, but transparent, so I can see what happen below it (the keyboard take more of the 50% of the screen).

Maintenance :: New Window Selection Is Always Wrong Size / Type

Feb 3, 2014

No matter how many times I go to 'View' settings, every time I choose a new window (i.e. opening a folder) I am always met with a small-format window rather than a full-screen, full-size one. I also am met with random lists instead of 'medium-sized icons', which I have opted for and chosen as default in 'view'. Have I missed a colossally simple tick in a box?

Disabling Onscreen Keyboard Icon?

Jan 19, 2014

Everytime I start my computer it ends up showing the icon for the onscreen keyboard in the taskbar notification area. How can I prevent this? I don't need the onscreen keyboard and doubt if I'd ever use it. Oh, by the way, I'm running W8.1 if that matters.

Image Size On Monitor Has Changed?

Jan 22, 2014

I am using Windows 8.1. Recently, when viewing a graphic on the monitor, I accidentally hit one or more keys on the lower part of the keyboard. The image immediately re-sized to a smaller size. Even when closing and re-opening the program, I am confronted with the reduced-scale image size. This has not affected any other software that I have on the computer, however.

Text Size On Laptop Monitor Is Not Stable?

Jul 3, 2013

I am using a relatively new Toshiba Satellite laptop, which came with Windows 8 (64-bit). Frequently, as I am typing, the text size will suddenly enlarge. I don't believe that my wrist is interfering with the keyboard, but I can't be certain. How do I go about returning the text size to a normal viewing size in Windows 8?

Tablets :: Second Monitor Via USB (Dell XPS 18)

Oct 8, 2013

I have here a Dell XPS 18 tablet, which is some kind of all in one pc and tablet (18''). It can be used as stand-alone tablet as well as attached on a powered stand with keyboard/mouse.

Now I wanted to use it with a projector or second screen, which is a bit annoying. Following scenarios have been tried out already:

Connected with a lenovo USB 3.0 dock/port replicator 0A33970, works fine with the software included. However, I do not want to carry the dock with me, it is bulky and needs power connected with a Lenovo USB-to-DVI Monitor Adapter. A nice, small and lightweight adapter. But, that one does not work, even with software installed.

It is proven that it works, but not with the device I wanted Is there a hidden function/system adjustment that I needed to know?

Tablets :: Keyboard Missing In 8.1 Advanced Options

Nov 9, 2013

I am trying to Boot from a USB Pen Drive on my Asus VivoTab running 8.1. There is no keyboard available in Trouble Shoot/Advanced Options UEFI Firmware Settings & Startup Settings. Screen or Asus Bluetooth keyboard.

BTW the 8.1 update went well. All my Desktop apps were preserved as well as Tablet.

Also, poking about in the Troubleshoot area it is possible to load a system image. Not found out how to make one yet !

A lot of rubbish seems to have been written about the 8.1 update.

Tablets :: Thinkpad - Keyboard Doesn't Automatically Pop Up

Aug 9, 2014

I just purchased a thinkpad tablet 8 thinking it would be light years ahead of my 3 year old android tablet. man, am I disappointed.

The onscreen keyboard just sucks compared to my galaxy tab 7.7. not only do I have to press the little icon on the bottom of the screen to pop it up manually, there is zero feedback. no haptic feedback, can barely hear any sound, the number row is in a different page, and it doesn't auto fill any forms with previously typed info, such as email, names, etc.

And the android widgets is better than the Windows 8 tiles. The stock tiles for example, instead of showing my watched stocks, it cycles through a slideshow of useless info and would take forever to cycle through the stats I want.

On android, the keyboard would appear and disappear automatically depending on where u click on the browser. on windows u have to do it automatically. I'm using the stock ie browser.

Browsers/Mail :: Metro Version Of IE - Change Text Size

Apr 18, 2013

Big drawback with the Metro version of IE is that it doesn't seem possible to change the text size -- on a large monitor using the "Normal" version -- the desktop version of IE I can change the text size at will and zoom the image which I usually have at 150%.

The text size on the Metro version is FAR FAR too small for me on a large monitor -- can see myself needing a "White Stick" if I had to carry on reading like that for too long.

This whole idea of rigid window sizes where you can't zoom seems ridiculous.

Note here -- It MIGHT work on a TOUCH screen by pinching the sides but

1) can't test it as I don't have (or want) a touch screen when I'm working at a Desk.
2) The last thing I want to do is leave smeary finger marks over my nice expensive large LCD screen
3) even if it had touch - I'm sitting far too far away from it to make this a practical method of working to alter text and zoom etc.

(On a Samsung smart phone I don't have problems with text size by pinching the screen - but I'm NOT working on a PHONE when I'm at my desk with a nice large screen).

Tablets :: ASUS VivoTab ME400C Win 8.1 No Longer Recognizing BT Keyboard

Jan 8, 2014

My BT keyboard is no longer discoverable by my ASUS Vivotab ME 400C.

Seemed to suddenly stop working after a couple of incidents where a letter would be repeated 1 hundred times. (i.e. "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" for "e")

The keyboard was recognized by my Blackberry and is working.

I went to Windows Support section and it said to go to PC Settings/Devices/Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth on, but I was unable to locate a place to turn Bluetooth off or on.

I went into Device ManagerBluetoothBluetooth Radio and found status "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)."

This may have occurred quite shortly after I installed an ASUS BIOS update, but I think it was a couple of days at least. I installed Windows 8.1 when it was initially released and had problems with SDBUS shutting down the tablet. The BIOS update fixed that.

I checked the Driver on the Bluetooth radio and it says it's the best one for the device.

I thought maybe I should uninstall/re-install the driver but I've never done this. That is I don't know if the Bluetooth icon will disappear altogether or something wierd.

New Metro Start Menu On 2nd Monitor

Nov 3, 2012

I have 2 monitors and am wondering if there is some way to make it so that when I bring up the new metro start menu on my 2nd monitor that I can make it stick there?

As it is now, if I open the new menu on my 2nd monitor and then go back to what ever program that I have open on my first monitor (like chrome or I.E. etc) then the start menu will close from my 2nd monitor.

I'd like to make it where it stays open on my 2nd monitor. Is this somehow possible?
