HP Omen X2S special characters on secondary screen

[MariusSwart]

Good day.

How do I type special characters such as ê / ë / ü etc. on the HP Omen X2S which does not have a mechanical numpad, but a digital touchscreen one on the secondary screen? Usually one would have used the Alt key together with a series of numbers on the numpad. But it doesn't seem to work with the digital numpad on the secondary screen. 
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @MariusSwart

I read your post and i understand that like to type special characters on a secondary screen.

You can control the second screen using the F12 key and the four dedicated keys located directly above the touchpad on the right side of the keyboard.

• F12 key : Toggle the second screen touch function on or off. In some configurations, you must press Fn + F12. An amber LED glows when the touch function is disabled.

• Virtual Numpad : Enable or disable the numeric pad on the second screen.

• On/Off : Turn the second screen on or off.

• Brightness : Adjust the brightness level on the second screen.

• Screen Switch : Switch screen content between the primary screen and the second screen.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hi Jay_G24. Thank you for the response, however unfortunately it does not seem to be a solution. 
Even with the touch function toggled on, nothing happens if I attempt to create a special character by combining the Alt-key with a series of numbers.

I know I can use the Character Map accessory and copy and paste from there, but I would've prefered if I could still use the numpad shortcuts.

Thank you for your assistance.
