Windows 10: How to Write Amharic Numerals in Windows 10

Windows' Amharic keyboard has improved over the years and it's now almost perfect with Windows 10. However, unlike the previous versions of Windows, writing Amharic numerals doesn't seem possible. In previous versions, typing the single quote character ' followed by a number would give the Amharic equivalent. For example if one types '5, she/he will get፭. However, such or any other combinations of characters with numbers are not producing the Amharic numbers with Windows 10. What's more, there doesn't seem to be any guide or manual on how to use the keyboard to refer to. So, the question is, is typing Amharic numbers in Windows 10 still possible?

Thank you!

Suggestion on enhancement of typing Amharic words

To those who developed Amharic typing/keyboarding system. I have one comment/suggestion on it.

"Enter" or "Space" key is used frequently when Amharic words are typed. These keys help to select the right word from displayed options. To make Amharic typing fast and easy please enhance it to take the first choice when the user press any other key that
is not listed as options. For example to type the word "ሚስጥር" here are the steps on the current Amharic typing system

1. pressing "m" and then "i" and then space/enter keys (to type ሚ)

2. pressing "s" and then space/enter keys (to type ስ)

3. pressing "t" and then "." and then space/enter keys (to type ጥ)

4. pressing "r" and then space/enter keys (to type ር)

I suggest to have a possibility not to use space/enter keys to write the same word ("ሚስጥር"). That means when I press "m" and then "i", I have two available options "ሚ" and "ሜ". space/enter key is used to type "ሚ" and "e" is used to type "ሜ". If the user
type any other keys (other than "e" or space/enter), it will not write anything on the screen because it is out of the available options. What I am suggesting here is that - when the user types any key which is not in the available options, let it take the
first option.

if you apply the above suggestion here will be the steps to type the word "ሚስጥር"

1. pressing "m" and then "i" (to type ሚ)

2. pressing "s" (to type ስ)

3. pressing "t" and then "." (to type ጥ)

4. pressing "r" (to type ር)

This will make typing Amharic words very easy and fast.

Keyboard not working properly on Amharic language keyboard layout

Hello Guys,

I used Amharic language quite a lot on windows. But recently Microsoft has updated this language tools and the new version has a lot problems. Sometimes I can't use "Back Space" key on my computer because it is not functioning on new version of Amharic language,
it can't remove any letter anymore. There are also many problems that I might not able to explain here. So my question is, is there any way I can use the old version of it please. I used this new version for about a year but it is very unfriendly. Any possible
suggestion will be highly appreciated.
