Delete key in on screen keyboard for Dell Venue Pro 8 tablet?

Using Windows 8.1 on a Dell Venue Pro 8 tablet. The software, onscreen keyboard does not have a Delete key. That makes it very hard to do any editing after highlighting a block of text. Hitting the backspace key takes it out of the block edit mode and
just deletes on letter at a time. Anyone know if this is a general Windows tablet problem or possibly some unique to the Dell Venu Pro 8 tablet? I would like to change the keyboard layout to include the Delete key. Also, is there setting so it could recognize
when to capitalize a word? I would think that my Sumsung phone would not have a better software keyboard, but it has a much, much better version in SwiftKey.

I guess you mean the "touch keyboard" ?
There is a "keyboard selector" key in the bottom right hand corner, which allows you to select alternative layouts - have you tried that?

I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

The delete key does a backward delete because it is the natural way to delete while typing. May not be to you and the millions of youngsters who grew up with windows computers. When you are typing and want to delete that which you just typed you are already at the end and you delete back to where you want to re-type. When you go back to a document and want to delete a selection, you have to go to the end of the selection instead of the beginning. it's just the way its always been done on macs. it takes some getting use to.
If you select text to be deleted with your mouse then the delete key deletes the selected text. same for either delete key method.
It is not convenient when you tab to fields in a form. That why fn-delete does a forward delete.
Macs have a couple of keyboards. The small "wireless keyboard" only has the (backward) delete (fn-delete forward). The larger "Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" has both a Delete (backwards) key beside the = abd it has the "delete >" key in the groups with fn, home, end, Pg up and Pg dn. This keyboard is best for users who have switched from windows or are familiar with the windows forward delete.

Installation Problem - Skype for Desktop on Dell Venue Pro 8

I have a new Dell Venue Pro 8. It had the modern Skype app installed out of the factory, but clicking on it made me download the Skype for desktop app. It downloads fine (in looking through the forums, I saw that others had problems with this, but it was fine for me). The problem comes when it's installing. Skype brings up the "Installing Skype" window. The problem is that it takes up the whole screen. I can do what I need to with the "Select your language" drop-down menu, but there is nothing that lets me go to the next screen. I see no "Next" or "OK" or anything like that to use to continue the installation process. I cannot resize the window. Maximize and minimize are the only options. "Move" and "resize" are grayed out. Thank you for any ideas!

Windows 8.1 randomly freezes and restarts on Dell Venue Pro 11

I have a new Dell Venue Pro 11 with Windows 8.1. It freezes at random times -- on random processes (music, firefox, etc.) -- goes to the BSOD and into a restart. Happens a few random times-- a day; no pattern. Looking through the answers to related
questions seems it comes down to hardware problem (new machine) or reinstall the OS. Correct?

On Screen Keyboard for Windows 8

Is there a way to keep the onscreen keyboard from opening automatically? When I am on my tablet with an external keyboard and am using Word 2013, every time I scroll through or click on the document, the on screen keyboard comes up. It was easy to disable
in Windows 7, but I cannot figure out how to disable it in Windows 8.
Thanks!

That works, if you consider a manual solution:
1) Starting and stoping the Win8 virtual keyboard, and only the keyboard:
I put two commands into two batch-files:
"net start TabletInputService"
"net stop TabletInputService"
2) Creating Shortcuts
I created two shortcuts and attached them to the taskbar
3) Playing tricks on the UAC
Now you are stuck with the UAC. You can create an elevated task in the task scheduler and call that, but its complicated. I personally used a software to create an "elevated shortcut" in step two. There are some out there, e.g. "Elevated Shortcut".
But of course you would have to trust such a program. :-( I do. ;-|
This is not cool, but it works.
Problably you can check the service's state and create a batch file toggling it. So there would be only on shortcut left. I did not try that, instead i wrapped that in a little C#-Programm.
Well, might be for my vaio duo 11, Sony itself should have provided such a program, because it is their keyboard. Microsoft did so for theirs' on the surface, as I mentioned above. Actually I don't know if there is a standard API to check if an
perferred keyboard is in typing position.

Which is the delete key on a wireless keyboard

How do I "delete" using a wireless keyboard (no delete key) and why doesn't apple inform customers when they buy ?

Depends which keyboard you have. See screenshot.
In my UK keyboard it is the X under F13.

Keyboard for Final Cut Pro

The new thin keyboard that comes with the Mac Pro is not to my liking.
It continually runs words together when I type because I'm not hitting the space bar effectively. I'm also having to hit the keys harder just to ensure that the keystroke is recognized.
I also miss my ps2 PC keyboard that had colour-coded keys for Avid when I was on a PC.
Can anyone please suggest a usb keyboard that has shortcut keys for Final Cut Pro (latest version) and has extra usb ports (at least one) on the keyboard for the mouse and other usb peripherals and works correctly with a Mac Pro and includes the eject key to open/close the dvd bay doors on the Mac Pro?
Thanks for any advice.

As far as 'color coding' your keyboard, I have had great success with a sticker set from
www.editorskeys.com
I know some people want the 'official' color coded keyboard, but the cost of that compared to $20 for a sticker set is something to consider. I have had my set on my keyboard for over two years and have had no problems ... and I edit 5 days a week, eight hours a day so they have been 'put to the test'!!
good luck

Projector works on Dell Venue Pro 11 tablet?

Hi there
I am trying to run a director 11.5 windows projector (made on a mac) on Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet (win 8.1/1920x1080/baytrail CPU) and am having problems with "alignment" on the screen. The 1920x1080 movie seems to be loading but fills only about 60% of the screen. You can see the desktop through the other 40%. It appears that the movie (at normal size) has been shifted up by 250 pixels and to the left by 400 pixels and is playing. So you are seeing the desktop through lower "SW" portion of the screen.
This particular movie ran fine on a microsoft surface pro tablet a few months ago (no access to that projector file, I republsihed). Unfortuntately I do not have access to that surface tablet anymore. I am wondering if there is a problem with the integrated graphics hardware and/or the processor in the dell. The venue has the new baytrail processor and integrated intel graphics. The surface pro has an i5 processor.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Made some other windows projectors (on the mac) with the following results and run on the dell venue tablet.
(1) 1600x900 - similar problem with only part of screen showing
(2) 1280x720 - projector seems to be working and displaying properly. The projector image is scaled to fill the full 1920 screen width.
I am beginning to think that there is a problem with the intel integrated graphics hardware. I should add that the problem I am having also occured a few months ago when I tested a similar projector with a acer iconia w3 tablet (8 inch screen/windows 8.0/1280x800/atom Z2760 CPU/intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD hardware).
I hope that problem has a solution, hopefully coming as a director 11.6 upgrade and director 12.1 upgrade. I think this combination of cpu and graphics hardware is a going to do pretty good business.

Function keys on new wired keyboard for old iMac don't workdon't work

Apple replaced my original wired keyboard when keys had stopped working, but with the new wired keyboard the function keys don't work as the symbols on them indicate. My concern is F10-F12 which are supposed to control volume. F10 shows all open windows; F11 romoves open windowns from screen; F12 shows ttime, date, temperature, etc, like the top button on the mouse. I have tried suggested ways to fix this through System Preferences, Keyboard/Mouse but none works.
Can anyone solve this problem for me?

I have the exact same problem. My old keyboard unfortunately died after spilling fluid onto it.
I purchased the same keyboard today.
Everything works with it except I have the same problem as described here: "

Please help. This is frustrating.
