Have you considered using Onboard's D-Bus interface? This would eliminate the delay for restarting. If the remote can run arbitrary commands instead of sending keyboard shortcuts you could show Onboard with
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.onboard.Onboard /org/onboard/Onboard/Keyboard org.onboard.Onboard.Keyboard.Show

where we just managed to get it going in Mageia, albeit with glitches. I'm not 100% positive it is Plasma, but it sure looks very similar to this here:

What is your distribution and which version of Onboard do you have installed?
