Configuring the Software Keyboard

The value 32 (=Fixed Position) can be added to these values (specify total). In this case,
the position of the keyboard is not changed when a switch is made to the next keyboard
(see VK_KB_SWITCHNEXT). Otherwise, the newly activated keyboard is displayed
by default with the same position code as the previous one.
ShowTitle=0
• 1 = Show title bar of the keyboard window
• 0 = Do not show title bar
In the title bar, the name of the software keyboard, which was specified for
Keyboard_xxx in the section designation, is also displayed.
Keep in mind, however, that hiding the title bar is not recommended. With the title bar
visible, the software keyboard can gain focus if you click the title bar – the current input
window would lose focus.
ShowTaskWin=0
• 1 = Show in the taskbar
• 0 = Do not show
Here, you can make the individual software keyboard windows visible in the taskbar
and in task switching with ALT-TAB.
Background=R,G,B
Definition of the window background with RGB values; this entry has priority over the
Pattern specification.

size of the keyboard results from the arrangement of the keys.
An entry for a key definition contains the following, mostly optional fields:
Labelling
The first three fields (up to the first | character) are used to label keys:
1. Normal field, labelling without [SHIFT] and without [ALT Gr]
