How do I silence onscreen Windows 8 "Touch Keyboard" key press sounds?

Solution 1

Swipe from the right-edge of the screen to bring up the Charms bar. If you are using mouse and keyboard setup, you need to either move the mouse cursor to the upper or lower right corner of the screen or press Windows + C keys to see the Charms bar.

enter image description here

Click or tap Settings on the Charms bar and then click (or tap) Change PC settings to open PC settings.

For Windows 8.0: Here, click/tap on General in the left-pane and look for an option named Play key sounds as I type in the right-side under touch keyboard section.

For Windows 8.1: Here, click/tap on "PC and devices", then "Typing" in the left-pane and look for an option named Play key sounds as I type in the right-side under touch keyboard section.

Note. that this option may not appear on non-touch devices.

There is a different version on non-touch interface than the touch interface.

i am developing a plugin which will have two buttons (launch and preview button), the launch button works when user clicked to allow him/her to clone an app to the server. Codes below for launch button:

    <form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
            <input type="hidden" name="server_id" value="<?php echo $server_id; ?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="app_id" value="<?php echo $app_id; ?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="launch_clone" value="doit">
            <input type="hidden" name="quantity" value="1">
            <button type="submit" name="add-to-cart" value="<?php echo $product_id; ?>">Launch</button>
        </form>

That one above works fine,but i want the preview button once clicked to take user to view template or image without editing. Here are the codes for view button:

    <form action="" method="post">
        <input type="hidden" name="view_template" value="<?php echo $app_id; ?>">
        onclick="getElementById('demo').innerHTML=Date()"
        <button class="submit">Preview</button>
    </form>

Anyone out there who can help?

Are you using a touch screen interface?

Yes, although it might be useful to know both cases.

It definately does not on my non touch screen device. Interesting that they would have two seperate ways of handling the same device. I wonder if the touch device on screen keyboard and the non touch device on screen keyboard are the same.

@JourneymanGeek check out the update. They have different layout.

I wonder if this has a split keyboard like RT does as well.

Can't you start the non-touch keyboard by running osk.exe on a touch-enabled device? Should be possible since the touch keyboard is part of the OS while the non-touch keyboard is a separate program.
