Tweaking Your Touch Experience

If you’re using Windows 8 on a touch device, you can tweak the way Windows 8 interacts with your hardware so that you get just the kind of responsiveness you want. Windows 8 already takes care of a number of key (and common) tasks for you:

• Windows 8 suggests words as you type

• Adds a space after you accept a text suggestion

• Automatically adds a period when you double-tap the spacebar

• Capitalizes the first letter of each sentence by default

• Puts your text in ALL UPPERCASE when you double-tap the Shift key

• Plays sounds as you type

• Gives you the option of displaying the standard keyboard layout as one of your keyboard selections

>>>step-by-step

You can change any and all of these settings if you like by following these steps:

1. In the PC Settings window, tap or click General.

2. Scroll down to display the Touch Keyboard settings.

3. Adjust the command slider of any of the settings you want to disable by dragging the slider from the right to the left.
