JoomKey Module

JoomKey is a joomla native mootools js virtual keyboard. It can be used on html inputs and textareas. The language is based on the language of the currently viewed site/article. It comes with English, German and Slovenian keyboard but can be easily be fitted with any additional language. If you do create a language please send it to me so i can add it. Tested on Firefox 3. Made in scope of the Institut-Oko Kiosk project.

I had to build two kiosk systems, and needed a pop-up keyboard to eliminate the need for a physical keyboard and the inherent security circumventions having one permits.

This was everything I needed. After installation, I had to tweak a few things to get it to work according to my needs, but that was easy. There isn't much in the way of documentation, but I'm a novice and was able to accomplish everything I needed to with only slight use of my brain.

I was able to change some keys around. For example I only need this for an email field, and swapped out the semi-colon; for the at symbol @ so that the users didn't have to go to the second set of keys via the "CAPS" key. I also changed the CAPS key to Shift as it was really shift, not CAPS.

Anyway, thank you for making this extension and please don't let it die. It is very infrequently needed, but when it is it is a total lifesaver :)
