    Customize On-Screen Keyboard


    When I open the on screen keyboard on my Asus VivoTab 8 with my stylus it opens the "writing box" rather than the actual keyboard. Obviously this writing box isn't very useful because it's inaccurate and you can't really write more than one word at a time. My question is, how do I make the keyboard pop up by default? It's extremely annoying always having to switch to the keyboard manually.

    edit
    And is there any way to make the keyboard semi-transparent so it doesn't block half the screen? To me this seems like an obvious feature that any on screen keyboard should have.

    :)

    Custom keyboard layout not reflected on on-screen keyboard

    Hi,

    On my device with Windows and touch screen I am using a custom keyboard layout (Dvorak with custom characters).

    I have created it with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator tool - Download Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 from Official Microsoft Download Center
    (it is the only tool I know to adjust keyboard layout in Windows).

    Until previous Windows 10 build both physical and on-screen keyboards worked fine.

    But when I upgraded Windows 10 to build 1709 my on-screen keyboard displays wrong (default QWERTY) layout. Still keys work as per my custom layout.

    Reinstalling the keyboard does not fix it.

    Please help. How can I get my custom keyboard layout get properly displayed on on-screen keyboard? Is there any other tool to do it?

    Can I report somewhere a bug in Windows 10 build 1709?

    Thank you!

    One feature that FVK is lacking are the side to side arrows which the Windows keyboard has. It's minor but those buttons come in handy.

    I really like FVK so far though. I was worried a third party program would not stay on top of other Windows but this is not a problem with FVK.

    Also FVK seems to get confused when the screen sleeps and needs to be restarted each time. Another minor inconvenience.
