ahk_on_screen_keyboard

A modular and customizable on-screen-keyboard for AutoHotkey projects.

Features:

• Displays physical and virtual keypresses
• Can be controlled with dpad
• Includes light and dark mode
• Easy to add or adjust layouts (in __New)

Instructions:

To include in your script: #Include osk.ahk

To initialize object: Global keyboard := new OSK("dark", "qwerty")

Main methods:

• keyboard.toggle() - Show and hide keyboard on the current monitor
• keyboard.ChangeIndex(Direction) - "Up", "Down", "Left", "Right"; For dpad navigation
• keyboard.RetrieveDPadSelected() - Returns the button currently highlighted by the dpad
• keyboard.HandleOSKClick(key:="") - Send the specified key through the keyboard

If you want to use an object name other than keyboard you will have to change the calls in the #If statements and the HandleOSKClick() function to your object's name.

Testing:

If you run the script directly (rather than including it elsewhere) the following hotkeys will be activated to allow testing the keyboard.

• Ctrl + Ins: Toggle keyboard
• Up, Down, Left, Right: Change DPad index
• Enter: Send DPad selected
