There are several different kinds of keyboards for PCs. The most common type is a physical, external keyboard that plugs into your PC. But Windows has a built-in Accessibility tool called the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) that can be used instead of a physical keyboard.
Go to Start , then select Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard, and turn on the On-Screen Keyboard toggle. A keyboard that can be used to move around the screen and enter text will appear on the screen. The keyboard will remain on the screen until you close it.
Scan through keys: Use this mode if you want the OSK to continually scan the keyboard. Scan mode highlights areas where you can type keyboard characters by pressing a keyboard shortcut, using a switch input device, or using a device that simulates a mouse click. Use the Scanning speed slider to set a speed that suits your preferences. You can also choose any combination of the following options for selecting a key:

Use your computer mouse or keyboard to play the virtual piano keyboard (or the device touch screen for mobile devices). You can view the corresponding computer keyboard letters by activating the Real Keys feature. For the entire keyboard spectrum, click it twice.
A virtual piano keyboard is perfect when there isn't a real piano or a keyboard at home or when your piano or keyboard isn't next to a computer. The online piano keyboard simulates a real piano keyboard with 7 1/4 octaves of 88 keys (only five octaves for mobile devices), a sustain pedal, ABC or DoReMe letter notes representation, a Metronome, zoom-in, and a full-screen mode.
Use your computer mouse or keyboard to play the virtual piano keyboard (or the device touch screen for mobile devices). You can view the corresponding computer keyboard letters by activating the "Real Keys" feature. For the entire keyboard spectrum, click it twice.
Use your computer keyboard or click the piano keys to play the piano. The keyboard's top row of letters corresponds to the white keys, and the row of numbers corresponds to the black keys. You can play multiple notes simultaneously.
Click "Hide note names" above the piano to hide the note names. Click "Mark" to mark notes on the piano. Play the marked notes by clicking the "Play" button (only visible after notes have been marked) or pressing the spacebar on your keyboard.
Then I saw there was komplete Kontrol so I installed the soft (slow, sluggish...) and could load Massive X in there (yet another layer? a standalone version would make it so quick...) BUT can't for the sake of me find a virtual keyboard to play notes with the keyboard of my laptop. Back to square one.
I find the user experience to be very bad (native access 2 is also sluggish and slow compared to v1, kontrol opens massive at 100% and it does not fit the screen at all...). I do have a synth with a keyboard but like to just open softs from time to time and play without having to connect anything.
Arturia offers a virtual keyboard with all their plugins and they can all be used standalone, that's smart. I use them a lot because it's just so easy. Even though I'm not a huge fan of Kontakt (memory hug, CPU hungry) that's at least practical (The NI libraries are great).
Could you please check in your file, /.config/weston.ini if a path is set for the # on screen keyboard input method. This command (path=/usr/libexec/weston-keyboard) that my colleague mentioned is to be added as a line in the weston.ini file. When the path and the appropriate keyboard configurations are made in the weston.ini, it will look something like this:
Thank you. It worked. I used /usr/libexec/weston-keyboard, because /usr/lib/weston/weston-keyboard did not exist. I think the actual solution was placing the weston.ini in /.config/weston.ini also (previously, it was located only in /etc/xdg/weston).
Now my problem is that the virtual keyboard is not displayed when accessing a text input box in GTK, due to the fact that Weston implements the interfaces for zwp_text_input_manager_v1, while gtk only supports zwp_text_input_manager_v3 (see link). However, if I use weston-editor, the virtual keyboard is displayed. Anyway, this is another problem (I will try Xorg/X11; hopefully, this problem will be gone).
I believe in Gnome it is called onboard and can be launched from the Settings > accessibility screen. Of from alt+F2 keyboard shortcut and typing in onboard and hitting enter.
If this does not work, you may need to install it:
I am sorry that I do not use Gnome Desktop (Zorin Core) as I prefer Zorin Lite (XFCE). So I do not know all of the GNome Methods. Will this site help:

From your screenshot, it looks like your Local Region and Language is set to English (US).
I believe that this is why it is defaulting to English.
I agree, though... If your local language was set to Urdu, would the keyboard not switch to English when you need it?
I don't think this is a duplicate of QML Virtual keyboard Hide button not working because that question seems to be about the visibility not being bound to the active status whereas in my case, the active status is not being updated at all from what I can tell, and my setup is different. Also I'm not getting any error message while that poster did.
I was afraid that pressing the 'Hide' button might cause the focus to go back to the text field and then maybe it was just popping it back up immeadiately because of the code in onActiveFocusChanged however those console.log statements aren't displaying anything when I press the Hide button so I don't think that's the case. Neither is the onActiveChanged event on the InputPanel itself being hit when I press the button. Though both are being hit when I first show the keyboard by clicking on the field.
Please implement a custom keyboard for filling usernames, passwords, and other fields, including custom ones, on Android. This would be useful for security, convenience, and usability reasons, as it would reduce use of the clipboard, allow easier selection of custom fields without leaving the target app, and be supported by almost any app, regardless of newness.
A virtual keyboard is a software component that allows the input of characters without the need for physical keys.[1] The interaction with the virtual keyboard happens mostly via a touchscreen interface, but can also take place in a different form in virtual or augmented reality.
On a desktop computer, a virtual keyboard might provide an alternative input mechanism for users with disabilities who cannot use a conventional keyboard, for bi- or multi-lingual users who switch frequently between different character sets or alphabets, which may be confusing over time, or for users who are lacking a traditional keyboard. Although hardware keyboards are available with dual keyboard layouts (e.g. Cyrillic/Latin letters in various national layouts), the on-screen keyboard provides a handy substitute while working at different stations or on laptops, which seldom come with dual layouts.
On the Internet, various JavaScript virtual keyboards have been created, allowing users to type their own languages on foreign keyboards, particularly in Internet cafes. Multitouch screens allow the creation of virtual chorded keyboards for tablet computers,[8] touchscreens, touchpads and wired gloves.[9][10]
Virtual keyboards are commonly used as an on-screen input method in devices with no physical keyboard, where there is no room for one, such as a pocket computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer , or touchscreen-equipped mobile phone. Text is commonly inputted either by tapping a virtual keyboard or finger-tracing.[11] Virtual keyboards are also used as features of emulation software for systems that have fewer buttons than a computer keyboard would have.
The four main approaches to enter text into a PDA were: virtual keyboards operated by a stylus, external USB keyboards, handwritten keyboards, and stroke recognition. Many early PDAs were not primarily focused on virtual keyboards. Microsoft's mobile operating system approach was to simulate a completely functional keyboard, which resulted in a slightly overloaded keyboard layout.[12] The main problem that early PDAs faced was support for multi-touch technology, and as a result, usability problems for the user.
When Apple presented the first iPhone in 2007, the decision not to include a physical keyboard was seen as a detriment to the device.[13] However, Apple brought the multi-touch technology into their new device, which enabled them to overcome the usability problems of PDAs. Apple's virtual keyboard design pattern has become a standard on mobile devices today.
The Android SDK provides a so-called InputMethodService.[14] This service provides a standard implementation of an input method, which final implementations can derive from and customize, enabling the Android development community to implement their own keyboard layouts. The InputMethodService ships with it on Keyboard View.[15] While the InputMethod Service can be used to customize key and gesture inputs, the Keyboard Class loads an XML description of a keyboard and stores the attributes of the keys.[16]
