.SH NAME
|
|
\fPxvkbd\fP - virtual keyboard for X window system
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIxvkbd\fP is a virtual (graphical) keyboard program for X Window System
|
|
which provides facility to enter characters onto other clients (softwares)
|
|
by clicking on a keyboard displayed on the screen.
|
|
This may be used for systems without a hardware keyboard
|
|
such as kiosk terminals or handheld devices.
|
|
This program also has facility to send characters
|
|
specified as the command line option to another client.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The standard keyboard layout is based on the traditional US layout,
|
|
but some other keyboard layout (see "Screen Shot")
|
|
are also supported.
|
|
The default window size may be too large for systems with small screen,
|
|
but it can be configured to use smaller space (220x90 pixels, for example).
|
|
For details,
|
|
see also "Screen Shot"
|
|
and "How to Customize \fIxvkbd\fP" below,
|
|
and resouce files in the distribution.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIxvkbd\fP version 2.1 and later support word completion,
|
|
which may make it easier to enter long words with \fIxvkbd\fP.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIIMPORTANT NOTE:\fP
|
|
When invoking \fIxvkbd\fP from display managers such as XDM, GDM, etc.,
|
|
always use \fIxvkbd\fP with \fB-secure\fP option
|
|
or you will have serious security risk.
|
|
|
|
.SH "Environment"
|
|
\fIxvkbd\fP will work on X11R5 or X11R6.
|
|
It is tested on \fIredhat Linux\fP and \fISolaris\fP,
|
|
and it will work also on most UNIX-like systems.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This program uses \fIXaw\fP (use of \fIXaw3d\fP is recommended)
|
|
and no special library is required.
|
|
|
|
.SH "Operation"
|
|
|
|
.SH " Input Keys"
|
|
When \fIxvkbd\fP is started, the image of a keyboard
|
|
will be displayed on the screen.
|
|
Clicking any key on the \fIxvkbd\fP window will send the character
|
|
to the focused window
|
|
as if the key had been actually typed with the hardware keyboard.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you want to input upper-case alphabets
|
|
or other characters on the upper position on the keyboard,
|
|
you should click the key after selecting \fIShift\fP by clicking it,
|
|
or click the key with mouse button 3 (maybe right button) or mouse button 4.
|
|
In the similar manner, if you want to input \fIControl\fPed characters,
|
|
you should click the key after clicking \fIControl\fP,
|
|
or click the key with mouse button 2 (maybe middle button).
|
|
\fIAlt\fP and \fIMeta\fP can be used in the similar manner with \fIControl\fP,
|
|
but there are no shortcuts with mouse buttons.
|
|
|
|
.SH " ``Quick Modifiers''"
|
|
\fIxvkbd\fP 2.5 and later support another way to input characters
|
|
with modifiers such as \fIShift\fP, \fIControl\fP, \fIAltGr\fP, etc.,
|
|
which may be useful especially for machines with touch panels such as PDAs
|
|
- we would call it \fI"Quick Modifiers"\fP.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIQuick Modifiers\fP can be enabled/disabled by the
|
|
``\fIEnable "Quick Modifiers?\fP'' entry on the
|
|
property panel.
|
|
If \fIQuick Modifiers\fP is enabled,
|
|
it will be activated by pressing a key on the \fIxvkbd\fP window,
|
|
move the pointer outside of the key,
|
|
and then release the mouse button or equivalent.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The direction of the pointer motion will select the modifier:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.in +4
|
|
.nf
|
|
up - Shift
|
|
right - AltGr
|
|
right-up - Shift AltGr
|
|
left - Control
|
|
left-up - Shift Control
|
|
down - Meta
|
|
left-down - Alt
|
|
.fi
|
|
.sp
|
|
.in -4
|
|
|
|
.SH " Setting Input Focus"
|
|
If you are using a window manager and clients
|
|
where you can set input focus by clicking mouse button on the window
|
|
(and you don't have to keep pointer in the window after that),
|
|
you can simply set input focus in the normal way
|
|
and then click keys on the \fIxvkbd\fP window
|
|
- the character will be sent to the selected position.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you are using a window manager or clients
|
|
where you must keep the pointer in the input field to input from the keyboard,
|
|
or if the input focus is switched to the \fIxvkbd\fP window
|
|
when you clicked on the key on the \fIxvkbd\fP window,
|
|
you must make \fIxvkbd\fP to set input focus explicitly
|
|
by clicking the \fIFocus\fP button on the \fIxvkbd\fP window
|
|
and then click on the input field.
|
|
This input focus can be cleared by clicking \fIFocus\fP button
|
|
with mouse button 3, or simply clicking \fIFocus\fP button twice.
|
|
|
|
.SH " Word Completion"
|
|
Choosing ``\fIWord Completion...\fP'' in the main menu
|
|
will popup the \fIWord Completion\fP panel.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When you entered characters by clicked keys on the \fIxvkbd\fP window as usual
|
|
while the \fIWord Completion\fP panel open,
|
|
words started with the characters will be listed in the panel,
|
|
and you can enter the remaining characters of the selected word
|
|
by clicking one of the words in the list.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The dictionary (list of words) file is \fB/usr/share/dict/words\fP by default,
|
|
but it can be changed by \fB-dict\fP option or \fBxvkbd.dictFile\fP resouce,
|
|
or on the Property panel.
|
|
|
|
.SH " Main Menu"
|
|
Pressing the ``xvkbd'' logo on the main keyboard
|
|
(placed near left-bottom corner in the default configuration)
|
|
will popup the main menu.

|
|
when mouse pointer is moved on a button and stays long enough.
|
|
You may want to set \fIJump Pointer?\fP to OFF to avoid auto-repeating.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
\fICompletion Dictionary\fP
|
|
Set the filename to be used for word completion.
|
|
This setting take precedence over the `\fBxvkbd.dictFile\fP' resource
|
|
and the \fB-dict\fP option.
|
|
|
|
.SH " Options"
|
|
\fIxvkbd\fP accept following command line options, in addition to
|
|
general options such as `\fB-display\fP'.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B "-version"
|
|
Display version information and exit.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B "-xsendevent"
|
|
Make \fIxvkbd\fP to use \fIXSendEvent()\fP to simulate keyboard events,
|
|
as it was in \fIxvkbd\fP version 1.0.
|
|
\fIxvkbd\fP version 1.1 and later will try to use XTEST extension instead
|
|
in the default configuration.
|
|
.sp 0.5
|
|
If XTEST extension is not supported by the X server,
|
|
\fIxvkbd\fP will automatically switch to this mode.
|
|
.sp 0.5
|
|
Resource `\fBxvkbd.xtest: false\fP' has the same function.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B "-no-sync"
|
|
Normally, \fIxvkbd\fP attempts to synchronize with the destinating client step by step.
|
|
This can cause problem when the client (or the X server) responded too slow.
|
|
In such situation, maybe this \fB-no-sync\fP can solve the problem.
|
|
.sp 0.5
|
|
Resource `\fBxvkbd.noSync: true\fP' has the same function.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B "-no-jump-pointer"
|
|
Make \fIxvkbd\fP not to jump the pointer when sending events.
|
|
In the default, \fIxvkbd\fP will temporary jump the pointer to the focused window,
|
|
if input focus is set explicitly via \fIFocus\fP button,
|
|
and XTEST extension is to be used to simulate keyboard events.
|

.TP 4
|
|
.B "-no-back-pointer"
|
|
Make \fIxvkbd\fP not to jump the pointer back to the original position
|
|
after events has been sent.
|
|
Maybe this can be useful when using \fIxvkbd\fP to move the pointer position.
|
|
.sp 0.5
|
|
Resource `\fBxvkbd.jumpPointerBack: false\fP' has the same function.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B "-modal"
|
|
Make labels on keys in the \fIxvkbd\fP window
|
|
to be set independently for each of four shift states,
|
|
not shifted, \fIShift\fP, \fIAltGr\fP and \fIShift\fP-\fIAltGr\fP.
|
|
This is useful when you want to make the \fIxvkbd\fP window very small.

|
|
.sp 0.5
|
|
You can use form like \fB-geometry 400x130\fP to specify the window size,
|
|
\fB-geometry +100+100\fP to specify the window position from left/top edge of the screen,
|
|
and \fB-geometry 400x130+100+100\fP to specify both the size and the position.
|
|
You can specify position from right/bottom edge of the screen
|
|
by using \fB-\fP instead of \fB+\fP,
|
|
but please note that you must take account of size of the window border.
|
|
(If you specify `\fB-geometry -0-0\fP',
|
|
the window will not fit in the screen.)
|
|
.sp 0.5
|
