Comment 2 for bug 1232107

Possible usecase: an HTPC with a remote or joypad. It is easy to control the mouse cursor, so web browsing is quite cool. But if I need to type something on a web page, I need the virtual keyboard. At the very moment, I use a simple script that starts/kills Onboard. My remote sends a keyboard shortcut (and joypads can be configured to do so), I've bound this shortcut to the script.

Automatic detection doesn't work for me, as I experiment with KDE Plasma. KDE has virtual keyboards, too, but these are really horrible! If you want, I can make a video to explain it further.

Thank you for your time,

Jörn :-)
