row of proposed completions of words as you type them, to save

you time and typos. “Add a space after I choose a text suggestion”
and “Add a period after I double-tap the Spacebar” make the
onscreen keyboard work even more like your phone.

How AI has helped you. Before it takes over humanity and
reveals itself to be evil, artificial intelligence is trying to put on a
shiny PR campaign through this new item. Choose “Typing

insights” to open a screen showing you how much effort Windows
10 has saved you with features like autocomplete, autocorrect, and
(for onscreen keyboards) word swiping.

Touch keyboard. Even more time-saving features for using your
onscreen keyboard! “Play key sounds as I type” helps you

understand when you’ve actually triggered a letter, since the keys
are just images on glass. “Capitalize the first letter of each
sentence” saves you fiddling with the onscreen Shift key; “Use all

uppercase letters when I double-tap Shift” lets you turn on Caps
Lock when it suits you; and “Show the touch keyboard when not in
tablet mode and there’s no keyboard attached” makes the onscreen

keyboard appear when you’re not in Tablet mode (“Manual Tablet
Mode”).

Hardware keyboard. Why, look—you can summon word-
completion suggestions even when you’re using an actual physical
keyboard, too! You can tap or click one, if you really think that will

save you time (Figure 7-5).

You get an autocorrect on/off switch for your physical keyboard
here, too.
