Florence Virtual Keyboard

Woke up in the morning just to find out that the navigation keys of your keyboard are not working ? Things can't get worse than this. No social networking ? no Google or other downloads ? Probably your keyboard had its fare share of coffee yesterday.
Well, your world should not really stop. It may get 'virtual' though.


Get the 'Florence Virtual Keyboard' from the 'Ubuntu Software Center'. Install it even if your keyboard is working fine. It might come in handy someday.




With a pretty smooth and intuitive interface, 'Florence' provides a great typing and navigational experience. Use your mouse to click on the keys and type on the currently active window. It comes loaded with a number of features which let you configure the looks and extend your keyboard. The key with the 'tools' logo lets you configure this keyboard. You can add additional keys , change the colors and opacity of the keyboard.

Florence provides very interesting 'Behaviour' patterns. Check out the 'Timer' and 'Ramble' patterns. Though it may take time getting used to these patterns.
But there are certain things even 'Florence' can't sort out for you. What if you have to switch to the Windows OS at the Grub startup. You can use the 'End' and 'Home' keys to find your way out of this predicament. Hope these two work , at least.
