Virtual keyboard

[autonom...@gmail.com]

Hello everyone,
I'm a new Qubes user and I'm disabled, so I really need a virtual keyboard to use this really nice OS. But I'm looking everywhere on Qubes, even in accessibility, I don't see a virtual keyboard anywhere… is there a virtual keyboard anywhere ? If not, how can I install one ?
I know it's a very little thing for you guys, but for a disabled man like me, it's the most important thing to use a computer.
Thank you.

I thought this was external... What do you mean by virtual keyboard, how do you use it?

I imagine you are able to use a mouse or similar device, but unable to use a physical keyboard.

This document describes various accessibily features available under Fedora:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html-single/Accessibility_Guide/index.html

There are various described virtual keyboards. Let me suppose you want to use "florence" even if I have no idea which one may be the best for you.

Florence is described as "Florence is an extensible, scalable, virtual keyboard, whose sole requirement is a pointing device" So it may be you can use it.

I suppose that if you install it in dom0 it should work. The command to install in dom0 should be something like:
 
sudo qubes-dom0-update florence

I never tried it.  So it may be better if you wait if someone with more direct experience replies to you.

Best

Thanks guys for your answers.

Yes Francesco, Florence is a very good virtual keyboard, I'm very familiar with this one since I installed Tails. I'm going to try to install this one with your command line.

Yes !!! It works perfectly Francesco ! I got Florence now.
Thank you very much !
