<P>
The onscreen keyboard in GTKeyboard functions exactly like a normal
keyboard on your desktop. Each of the buttons has its normal
function, with the exception of the buttons on the top row, (F1-F12,
ESC, Scroll Lock, etc) which do not have any function yet. The shift
and caps lock buttons work just like they would on a normal keyboard,
as well as all the other symbols like !@#$ etc.
<P>
As soon as the application starts, you can begin typing, and the
output of your typing will appear in the output buffer, the text space
near the bottom of the screen where the guide buttons are at the
bottom. Each key that you press will put its corresponding symbol
into the buffer at the bottom, possibly modified if the shift key is
on. In addition, the NUM LOCK key and the CAPS LOCK key are toggle
keys - the status buffer will inform you when they are turned off or
on, and they will remain pressed down when on. To release them, just
press them again.
<P>
On the bottom row of the main window, there are convenience shortcut
buttons to perform common tasks such as to select all of the text in
the widget, to open a file, to clear all the text out, to quit the
application, and so on.
<P>
For convenience, there is also a popup menu that you can use with
GTKeyboard. Just right-click in the text area at the bottom where you
normally type into, and a menu will appear to let you perform common
GTKeyboard tasks with, such as hiding/showing different screen
elements, customizing fonts/colors, and so on.
<P>
Don't bother wasting button presses on repetitive things like quoting
certain sections of text! The shortcuts menu in the top menubar will
help you out with things like that. If you go into the quoting
submenu, and click on ``Quote'', it will produce ``'' and put the
cursor between the two quotes so that you can continue typing your quoted
text. When you're done with the quoted text, use the cursor keys next
to the spacebar to go to the left or right of where you currently are
to continue typing.
<P>
In the Misc menu, there are also functions to move the cursor
automatically to the beginning or end of the file, as well as the
beginning or end of a particular line. It will place the cursor
appropriately so that you don't have to worry about hitting the cursor
keys the right number of times in order to go to the beginning/end of
the line/document. They function just like the HOME and END keys on a
normal keyboard.
<P>
Also, currently with the keypad, you have the buttons Home, End, and
Delete. They function just like the keys on the keyboard. The HOME
key takes you to the beginning of the current line, delimited by a
linebreak, the END key takes you to the very end of the line, and the
delete key deletes one key forward from your current position, just
like on a normal keyboard.
