One of these accessibility features is the on-screen keyboard. An on-screen keyboard allows you to type without having a connected keyboard by clicking or tapping on the screen if you have a touchscreen.

4. The keyboard is also context-sensitive. So if you select a text field that only takes numbers, then the on-screen keyboard will show up as a number pad, like shown in the screenshot below.

3. Once you have the terminal open, we can utilize Flatpak to install the GNOME Extension manager. This manager will allow us to install packages that extend the functionality of the on-screen keyboard.

Under Microsoft Windows 8, our Sony VAIO Tap 20 (a touch-screen desktop computer) automatically displays an on-screen keyboard if one touches a text field on-screen or there is otherwise no keyboard available (for example, the included bluetooth keyboard is switched-off or flat)... There is also a (notification area/system tray-based) option to display or hide the on-screen keyboard on-demand.

I've finally convinced the wife to let me single-boot Ubuntu on our VAIO Tap 20, but the included bluetooth keyboard smashes through batteries like they're going out of fashion, so until we can buy a corded keyboard, we need a solution (preferably built-in) that replicates the functionality found under Windows 8...

The OSK appears when I focus an input field in laptop mode, with keyboard(s) enabled. This is very annoying because I don't want to use the OSK in laptop mode at all and I have to constantly close it.

The release notes say that "the new keyboard automatically activates when a text area is selected", but for me (on Cosmic, in Wayland session) it only triggers automatically when I touch the search boxes in the Gnome Activities and Application menu, nowhere else.

Edit: To attempt an answer to your Question 3, IF the new onscreen keyboard works for you, either because you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen, which activates the keyboard only if you use Gnome in a Wayland session, or you somehow you can manually activate it in an X session (which seems tricky, see edit below), it is great. I have not tried alternative key maps, but the new onscreen keyboard seems fully integrated into the Gnome keyboard settings, and I suppose you can choose alternative keyboards like Greek as if you attached an external hardware keyboard.

I have a setup with a touch screen attached via USB to a linux machine running Gnome 42/Ubuntu 22.04. Unfortunately the on-screen keyboard doesn't show up in Firefox and also swiping across the page to scroll results in the text being selected.

People who are unable to use a keyboard or a mouse (including a head pointer) may be able to use one or more switches to activate functions on a computer. This can be done through a variety of sensors, from a simple mechanical switch, an air pressure switch or even a triggered by certain brain activity (1)I did use a regular keyboard during these tests. I don't think it would have been possible to rely solely on GOK. (2) Accessibility/Reviews/GOK (last edited 2010-09-18 16:26:44 by 71-209-21-139)

[Regression Potential]

The proposed fix requires a change in the way gnome-settings-daemon decides to enable or disable ibus. Please make sure that ibus correctly works when

using a keyboard layout that requires it (e.g. chinese).

[Original Report]

I have always used an on-screen keyboard as a virtual keyboard for entering text in a different layout than my physical keyboard. This time I cannot, since I cannot manually trigger the new OSK.

I notice that the release notes for Gnome 2.28 say "The new keyboard automatically activates when a text area is selected". If this worked, no activation button would be needed as far as I can tell, and I suppose this is why there is none. However as I said in my previous comment this is not the case for me

The Ubuntu help for 18.04 says that you need to activate it in the Accessibility settings, and "When you next have the opportunity to type, the on-screen keyboard will open at the bottom of the screen."

3. Judging by the confusion int his bug report and the many questions on Askubuntu,com, it seems that the swiping up eluded even those users who have access to the feature because they use Wayland. Quite clearly this is not sufficiently discoverable, which IMHO is a bug. (Of course this is not helped by the buggy docs)

4. The Gnome extension to summon on-demand ( -screen-keyboard-button/) does NOT work with touch in Ubuntu 18.04 (Gnome 3.28) according to the author, and neither does it in Cosmic (3.30). It works with the mouse but this is awkward to say the least. The author will hopefully be able to look into it but it may take some time.

Is there a manual way to have it come-up ? From comment #10 :

"Because of alien toolkits there is always a need to summon on demand."

Ido not have touch screen Ineed the keyboard because my space key does not work asitshould.

Still a very annoying bug.

Accepted gnome-settings-daemon into cosmic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at +source/gnome-settings-daemon/3.30.1.2-1ubuntu3.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Accepted gnome-settings-daemon into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at +source/gnome-settings-daemon/3.28.1-0ubuntu1.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for gnome-settings-daemon has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

I believe in Gnome it is called onboard and can be launched from the Settings > accessibility screen. Of from alt+F2 keyboard shortcut and typing in onboard and hitting enter.

If this does not work, you may need to install it:

I am sorry that I do not use Gnome Desktop (Zorin Core) as I prefer Zorin Lite (XFCE). So I do not know all of the GNome Methods. Will this site help:

From your screenshot, it looks like your Local Region and Language is set to English (US).

I believe that this is why it is defaulting to English.

I agree, though... If your local language was set to Urdu, would the keyboard not switch to English when you need it?

i used to have an on screen touch keyboard available for bios password and then again when booted in. since installing lubuntu, its gone in both bootup and once logged in. i usually use a keyboard, but today for instance i forgot it, and i had no way to enter the decrypt password to start the boot process.

I just installed a fresh copy of the (currently) newest Ubuntu LTS. Because I did this on an Acer with Touchscreen capability, it decided I want an on-screen keyboard which I very much do NOT. It's constantly in the way and completely unnecessary.

On-Screen Keyboard Portable makes it easy to access Windows' built-in on-screen keyboard on any system you come across. It remembers your settings for sound, hover to select or click to select, always on top, keyboard layout and more as you move from PC to PC. And the icon sits right in your PortableApps.com Menu for easy access.

Keylogger Note: While on-screen keyboards offer protection against hardware keyloggers, they do not offer protection against software keyloggers (which are far more common). They are primarily intended as an accessibility tool or for alternate means of text entry (pen-based computing, etc).

I am using Fedora on a computer with touch screen. When was using Fedora 26 or older, the on-screen keyboard always pops up when I am using the touch screen (like when I selected gedit window, the on-screen keyboard shows, and I have to close it manually). I found that caribou is the keyboard which annoys me, and this answer helped me (by disabling caribou).

However, after upgrading to Fedora 27 (actually I installed it from scratch), disabling caribou no longer works, and the keyboard pops up whenever I am using touch screen on gedit (and other applications). What should I do to disable it?

Onboard is a nice utility, and I hope its developers continue to maintain and develop it even though Ubuntu now uses the GNOME 3 on-screen keyboard instead, as it can be used in other desktop environments and in other Linux distributions.

I have Ubuntu/kubuntu 16.10 installed. I have display/keyboard and mouse on the machine - but only for debugging. My preferred use scenario is to ssh/PuTTY into the box with a tunnel set up for port for port 5902, start vncserver on server box with the xstartup below and connect with TightVNC Viewer for Windows (10) (version 2.8.5 Sept 23 2016).

However, the tab and arrow keys do not work, and I cannot bring up xfce4-keyboard-settings without it hitting a Seg Fault (details reported by the application through another route, I hope). If if the crash did not get reported, then if someone can tell me how to capture the details and where to send them, that would be great.

The tab key not working is a known issue with Xfce over vnc/xrdp. To fix it, go to Settings Manager > Window Manager > Keyboard and clear the "Switch window for same application" keyboard shortcut. I've never seen the issue with the arrow keys not working.

It pops up when a field requires text input - no surprise here. However, one thing that many users don't know is that when it pops up, you can swipe down from the top of the keyboard and pull it out of your view again.

This feature is not intuitive and does not display itself, and so it's worth mentioning this right away since some users have commented saying, "my keyboard is stuck on the screen." If you have a similar experience, then now you know you can just swipe down to hide it.
