## What it is
A jQuery plugin that adds an on-screen virtual keyboard (OSK) to browser inputs, textareas, and contenteditable elements. It supports custom layouts, multiple language layouts, shift/alt keysets, diacritic combos, and positioning via jQuery UI.

## Use cases
- add an on-screen keyboard to a web form input
- virtual keyboard for touch or kiosk web apps
- custom keyboard layouts in the browser
- multilingual on-screen keyboard for text inputs
- attach keyboard to contenteditable elements

## When to choose
- you already use jQuery and need an on-screen keyboard
- you need customizable layouts, keysets, and diacritic support
- building kiosk or touch interfaces in the browser

## When to avoid
- you use a modern framework like React or Vue without jQuery
- you need a native/mobile OS keyboard rather than a browser widget
- you need actively developed software with recent releases

- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, gui
