5 Depending on your keyboard layout, there might be an AltGr key on the on-screen keyboard. Type osk into the search box on the taskbar and then choose "On-Screen Keyboard" from the choices that appear. With AltGr pressed, the € symbol appears in the top row for me (UK keyboard layout) but not sure where it would appear in other layouts.
3 I have a Logitech keyboard and a mouse pair (keyboard K270 and mouse M185) that are paired to a single non-unifying receiver, and they work (I bought them together as a pair). Now one button in the mouse stopped working so I bought a new M185 mouse, but I can't pair it with the older receiver using Logitech's Connect Utility (version 2.30.90).
The Windows On-Screen Keyboard can show your keyboard layout and is also a means for entering keys via the mouse. See the Microsoft article Use the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) to type. The OSK is the biggest help that Windows can give. Otherwise, you could post it a a background image on your desktop, post stickers on the keys, or any other method you could think of and can do yourself.
Some months ago I needed a small keyboard and bought an Okion KM229 without noticing that it has no Home or End key. This makes it tricky to type as I'm so used to using these keys. I haven't yet f...
The methods do not work on Italian keyboard layout as shipped with Windows 7. Using a layout called “Italian (142)”, the characters can be typed, but using different keys – perhaps you are using that layout and a physical keyboard (keycaps) different from the one in the picture?
After having added a second keyboard layout to Windows, I wanted to turn off its hotkeys to switch between them, like Left Alt+Shift, and Ctrl+Shift. I knew about the Text Services and Input Languages dialog but in my current version of Windows 10 (1909, build 18363.1082), I simply couldn't find it.
I'm a bit embarrassed to ask this, but how can I enter the ^ (I can't see it in my keyboard) that is part of the control sequence: CTRL-^? The ^ character is often called caret, circumflex, or hat.
Is there a keyboard function that will allow me to do this? I like to use the keyboard to avoid repetitive mouse motions. I can use the shift key and arrow keys to make a selection, but I don't know what (if any) key can trigger this function. I also don't really know what this function is actually called.
The keyboard shortcut that enabled this was to hold the right shift key for eight seconds, something that a cat could easily do. What it did was not disable the keyboard, but enable filter keys, an adaptation designed for people with Parkinsons or the equivalent who hit keys multiple times when they only want to hit once.
