I've tried to open an alioth project for it, but it got rejected, as I'm
not a DM. Either someone here could convince alioth admins to create
this project, or it could be put elsewhere.

I believe the name should clearly say that it's meant for touchscreens.
Else you'll get mixed with all the on-screen keyboards which are meant
for accessibility.
Could be something like touchkbd.

Just so you know, I've started a new virtual keyboard project to address

It is inspired by matchbox-keyboard to a certain extent and compatible
with its GTK input method (meaning, if you have matchbox-keyboard-im and

I'm not sure how it works.
We need some really special keyboard, not the geometry of a real
