Virtual keyboard

The virtual keyboard is used as the input device for touch operator panels.
It opens when you double-click an operator element with input capability (editor, edit field).
The virtual keyboard can be positioned anywhere on the operator interface. In addition, you
can toggle between a full keyboard and a reduced keyboard that only includes the number
block. Moreover, with the full keyboard, you can toggle between English key assignments
and the keyboard assignment for the current language setting.
Procedure
Positioning of the virtual keyboard
You can position the virtual keyboard anywhere in the window by pressing the empty bar
next to the "Close window" icon with your finger or a stylus and moving it back and forth.
