Windows 10: My keyboard is only working when typing word and numbers

My keyboard is not functioning properly, when I press the main buttons to type a document using words and numbers as you can see. I cannot use, backspace or enter to delete I have to use the backward key arrow in front of the error I made then use the delete key. Also when I press enter to start a new line or when I login I need to use my mouse to click on the forward arrow in the login box. I can only type in one continuous line until I reach the set page margin, as you can see from my typing method? Gordon Taylor

number two stuck on keyboard

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



This issue might be happening because of the faulty device.

1. Since when are you facing this issue?
   
2. Have you recently made any changes on the device?
   
3. What is the make and model number of the device?
   
4. Is this issue happening on Laptop or desktop keyboard?
   
5. Which Operating system is installed on your device?
   
   
   

Step 1: If the issue is causing with the faulty driver, run the Hardware Troubleshooter

1. Click on Start.
   
2. Search for Troubleshoot and click on it.
   
3. Click on Keyboard and Run the troubleshooter.
   

You may also refer the article to
fix issues related to keyboard in Windows.



Step 2: You can also try with “Onscreen keyboard” to check the working of numeric key.

1. Open run command (Windows and R key), type in
   OSK.
   
2. Use the numeric 2 and check the status.
   

If the issue is only with the specific numeric key (Number 2), I suggest you to check with the manufacturer for the further assistance.



Hope it helps.

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.
