Re: Need better on-screen keyboard

Haha, I was going to say something, but then I realized that it wouldn't be incredibly difficult. It isn't really all that difficult to do, and Dean already has the most difficult buttons done (ctrl, alt, tab, etc). On the other hand, I don't really see as big of a demand for this as I do other features, so the time it takes to code this (probably less than 8 hours, but mind you, Dean has a job also), Dean can spend his time more wisely until this has a greater demand.

Wow, you must not realise how much of an endeavour this would be.

I completely agree. I think one with just english layout would be
enough, with a button to go back to standard one
