Need a simple onscreen keyboard?

I'll make this blog a short one since I'm editing it entirely with my mouse. If you have a need for an on-screen keyboard to use with A touch screen capable monitor, or perhaps your just too lazy to sit upright in your chair. I am happy to report that while nestled comfortably in my chair and with only my arm extended I am able to type with the on-screen keyboard and my mouse...

So how do I do it?

The terminalgeek way:
Simply enter the command "onboard" in your terminal window...

The Gnome way:
In Gnome you can press the key combinations "Alt - F2" which brings up the "Run Application" window. Simply enter "onboard" as the command and you will have an on-screen keyboard...

Enjoy!
