following keys are available:
Hide software keyboard and minimize to icon size
(function VK_KB_HIDE, bitmap BMP_Minimize)
Move position of the software keyboard up/down on the screen
(function VK_KB_UPDOWN, bitmap BMP_MoveUpDown)
Switch between the keyboards available
(function VK_KB_SWITCHNEXT, bitmap BMP_SwitchNext)

6.3.6 Configuring The Software Keyboard

The design of the software keyboard is defined in the configuration file
Keyboard.cfg. The keys are defined and many other settings are made in the various
sections and keys of this file.
While the CFG file largely conforms to the INI standard, separate parsing is carried
out specifically for the definitions of the individual keys.
6.3.6.1

Structure Of The Keyboard.cfg File

In the Keyboard.cfg file, several software keyboards can be defined, which can be
shown on the screen as required.
Every software keyboard requires:
1. A [Keyboard_xxx] section with general settings for size and position
of the software keyboard.
2. A [Keys] section that follows, in which the individual keys of this soft-
ware keyboard are defined.
