Overview
========

The GNOME On-screen Keyboard (GOK) is a dynamic on-screen keyboard for
UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems.  It features Direct Selection,
Dwell Selection, Automatic Scanning and Inverse Scanning access methods
and includes word completion.

GOK includes an alphanumeric keyboard and a keyboard for launching
applications.  Keyboards are specified in XML enabling existing
keyboards to be modified and new keyboards to be created.  The access
methods are also specified in XML providing the ability to modify
existing access methods and create new ones.

GOK is not limited to presenting keyboards that have been designed by
hand and is able to dynamically create keyboards so that it can adapt to
the user's current situation.  GOK is able to redisplay components of
the user interfaces of running applications directly within GOK as
keyboards.  This provides efficient access to elements of the user
interface, removing the need to navigate the interface indirectly though
keyboard accelerators.  GOK supports the redisplay of application menus
and toolbars.  GOK contains a window activator keyboard that lists the
current windows on the desktop and provides the ability to switch
between them.

Users have the option of setting key width, height, and spacing as well
as visual and auditory feedback on highlighting and selection.

Best wishes,
The GOK Team.
