^ **Updated - 13 January, 2007** ^ [[http://debugger.ru/dl/virtualkeyboard.zip|VirtualKeyboard v0.2.1 (98Kb, zip)]]\\ [[http://debugger.ru/dl/virtualkeyboard.tar.gz|VirtualKeyboard v0.2.1 (86Kb, tar.gz)]]\\ [[http://debugger.ru/dl/virtualkeyboard.7z|VirtualKeyboard v0.2.1 (73Kb, 7z)]]\\ [[https://svn.debugger.ru/repos/common/DokuWiki/VirtualKeyboard/tags/VirtualKeyboard.v0.2.1| SVN repository, v0.2.1]]^

This [[plugin]] implements the very special feature: text input in the different languages and keyboard layouts, without having them installed on your local system. Only the requirement - browser should support Unicode fonts to display the whole range of characters.

Plugin is tested in Mozilla FF 1.5&2.0, IE6.0&7.0, Opera 9.02.\\
Javascript engine is considered stable, although it is still under the development. Known issues are [[#known_issues | described below]].

  * memory leakage and bad input performance after several reloads.
