OSK - The OnScreen Keyboard
© Copyright 1989 by Jonathan Potter
Ever been caught without your keyboard? This program is for you!
Not public domain, but as always, freely redistributable.
****************************************************************************/
Amiga keyboards (except the 500's) are great. But have you ever taken your
Amiga somewhere, and forgotten your keyboard? Fret no more, OSK is here!
OSK gives you a software keyboard. A pictorial representation of the Amiga
1000's keyboard (the only one I've got!) is shown on the screen, and each of
the keys is a gadget. OSK grabs the window that was active before it was run,
and sends all key presses to that window.
To press a key, click on its gadget. The modifiers, CONTROL, CAPS LOCK,
SHIFT, ALT and AMIGA are available - click once to turn on, and again to turn
off.
To send key strokes to a different window, click on the "Window" gadget in
the top right corner. OSK then waits for you to click the left mouse button
again. Simply click on the window you wish to send key strokes to.
It is probably not a good idea to try to send key strokes to a window that
has been closed.
You can iconify OSK by clicking on the ICON gadget in the titlebar. To
de-iconify OSK, double click on the icon.
OSK can be started in iconified mode with the -i flag, from the CLI.
ie. OSK -i
Enjoy!
