Summary

Ship Kubuntu with a virtuak keyboard application.

Rationale

Kubuntu needs to focus on accessibility and usability. A virtual keyboard is essential part of that plan.

Use Cases

Joe has a handicap or disease and want to use the computer. He might need a virtual keyboard.

Steve's keyboard just died, he can use a virtual keyboard as temporary replacement.

Jonathan Riddell's keyboard doesn't work properly with Feisty, he can use a virtual keyboard waiting for a fix Smile :)

Scope

Kvkbd package in main.

kubuntu-default-settings package and usability profile settings.

Design

Warning /!\ Edit conflict - other version:

Package kvkbd, get it reviewed and in main, so that we can ship with it. We also needed to contact upstream for a few improvements and suggestions. That includes beeing able to resize the window, beeing able to define maccros, have layers for numpad, and a possible one button based key selection.

Warning /!\ End of edit conflict

We are also concerned about suggesting another name for the app, as the current one is not trivial to remember and pronounce.

Tweak kubuntu-default-settings to add kvkbd integrated to the accessibility profile for low minor-motor-difficulties.
