Virtual or on-screen keyboard for Ubuntu

If you are a lazy web surfer like me, you will surely know how useful on-screen keyboards are when you are sitting or reclining in unusual positions. They are also very useful for the people with some physical disability, where physical keyboard becomes inconvenient to use. In windows the inbuilt keyboard can be easily accessed from the start menu. But on Ubuntu its a bit tough. So here are some methods, to use on-screen keyboard on Ubuntu.

1) You can use the inbuilt keyboard. For that open the terminal (Alt+Ctrl+T) and type "onboard". The virtual keyboard will instantly start.

2) You can also install other on-screen keyboards. One of the popular choice is Florence virtual keyboard. To install it just go to the "Ubuntu Software Center" and search "florence virtual keyboard" install it and it will be ready to use. To open it from the terminal type "florence".
