xvkbd 4.1

Virtual computer keyboard for the X Window System

The xvkbd displays a drawing of a computer keyboard in a window on the screen. Clicking on its keys sends the corresponding keystroke(s) to other X clients, as if typed on a physical keyboard.

This is useful for systems without keyboard hardware but with a pointing device, such as kiosk terminals or handheld devices with touch screens.

A limited number of keyboard layouts are available, as is dictionary completion. You can also use xvkbd to send a series of predetermined keystrokes from the command line, without displaying a keyboard at all.
