## Description

This plugin adds an onscreen keyboard powered by Javascript/JQuery, ported from 
Samuel Deering’s work on github with his permission under the above licence by Iain
Redmill, now working within WordPress, allowing mouse based input or input when 
working from a touch screen device. Keyboard settings etc can be modified by editing
the file. To add a keyboard, enter [oskb] within your page where you wish it to 
appear.

Apart from improving the working of the older version, the on-screen keyboard for
password protected posts and pages in different flavors has been added recently.

Onscreen keyboard for password protected posts and pages. Standard keyboard can 
still be used. Onscreen numerical keyboard for password protected posts and pages
where password is numerical i.e. a pincode. Furthermore: 12 digit password is submitted
automatically. (Passwords longer than 12 characters, of which the first 12 characters
are numbers, are therefore impossible.) Standard keyboard can still be used (but
in that case the auto-submit won’t work properly – you have to hit the submit button).
General passwords can still be used by using standard keyboard.
