This is .73. No greek

[Arzza]

Definitely had Greek symbols in the toolbars prior to updating. Also, the times sign is also missing from the toolbar for x (which also definitely had xi). Not sure if it's related, but I'm seeing a lot more Hebrew symbols than I did before.

This is from 0.73.0

This is from 0.74.0

think https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/28164/files broke this

[crutkas]

languages.cs also should have the union run through maybe something like

in private static string[] GetDefaultLetterKeyALL(LetterKey letter),
Loop the Enum Language and call GetDefaultLetterKey and cache the result maybe?

GetDefaultLetterKey would throw a failure instantly if we passed in a language not in the loop

stackoverflow showed something ala this:
public static List GetEnumList() where TEnum : Enum
=> ((TEnum[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(TEnum))).ToList();

[crutkas]

we should validate what actual items are MIA now from the older list too

[jaimecbernardo]

This was my bad for not checking in https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/28164/files if all characters that were in "All languages" were actually in any of the singular languages.

Do we have a Greek language again after the hotfix and can I select ot in settings?

[firta4]

Will this fix also bring back dashes such as "hyphen", "figure dash", "em dash", "horizontal bar", etc. to the hyphen-minus key? Currently in v0.74.0 it seems only "en dash" and "Hebrew punctuation maqaf" are left.

[AdNarayan07]

May I also request ± and ∓ signs for "-" or "+" keys.
And also include numpad buttons in quick accent.
And probably other mathematical symbols such as square and cube roots, degree, etc.

[jaimecbernardo]

We don't have a Greek language. What I fixed in #28802 was setting the characters that were missing in All languages again.

As I mentioned in #28847:

There's also fewer symbols when you press period (.) key. I used this key to set U+0301 symbol.....

That symbol list contained 10+ options but after 0.74.0 update it is now unusable for me as it does not contain U+301 symbol.

I need to clarify that my issue happens on ENG(US) + RUS(RU) keyboard layouts (whichever locale is on)

[jaminnash]

As a previous comment suggested, adding "±" to the "+" would be an excellent addition. Additionally, "≥" should be added under ">". "~", "≈", "≠", and "≡" should all be added under "=".

[Arzza]

Additionally as per #27966 Add the degrees sign ° to either 0 or O accent lists

[EleKtr1X]

The superscript minus (⁻) and the subscript minus (₋) are also both missing from the comma key

[jaimecbernardo]

This has been fixed in 0.74.1. Please update PowerToys to the latest: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases

@jaimecbernardo can confirm, U+0301 made its way back to period . button! Thanks!
