Did anyone find a way to insert a virtual keyboard?

There is multiple virtual/on-screen keyboards for linux,

Maybe :

Thanks for the help, but I need to know how I integrate it into a module so that I can select it as an option within my magic mirror

@pana507 you can also add the npm for virtual keyboard and add it to your module
https://www.npmjs.com/package/virtual-keyboard

there are others
do google search

node js virtual keyboard

Hi
I tried to install the virtual keyboard, but when I started the keyboard the whole MagicMirror was interrupted.
Could you give me lights on this or recommend a virtual keyboard already tested in MM

@sdetweil What a great coincidence that I’m currently working on a module for which I need a virtual keyboard as well.
What have you installed?
I have again stranded with the problem of not being able to properly include an npm module into the main .js file.
Is this only possible via the getScripts function?

I have installed the module “simple-keyboard” using npm and included it like this:

    getStyles: function () {
        return [
            this.file('node_modules/simple-keyboard/build/css/index.css')
        ];
    },

Then called the keyboard class as instructed by the authors like this:

    start: function () {

        this.keyboard = new Keyboard({
            onChange: input => this.onChange(input),
            onKeyPress: button => this.onKeyPress(button)
        });

Didn’t work. “Keyboard is not defined”

@pana507 what have you done to install a keyboard.

@lavolp3 u need getScripts to load the Keyboard js
