A (marginally) better on screen keyboard for GNOME 45+ (go to the pre-45 branch for compatibility from gnome 42-44)

Advantages over the default OSK:

To drag the keyboard around, click on the move icon in the bottom right, then drag the keyboard around the screen. To get the full keyboard back, press the move icon again.
- The keyboard will snap to the corners, edges, and center of the screen.
To change properties about the keyboard, open up the "Extensions" application, and click on "Settings" under this extension to get a list of changeable properties
- Close the settings dialog to save any modified settings
To type special characters, open GNOME settings, and turn on "Compose Key" under the Keyboard submenu. Choose a modifier (preferably right alt), and use the key combinations listed here to type special characters
To change the keyboard layout, change the layout in Gnome's Control Center
To add typing prediction, add "Typing Booster" as an input source (in GNOME's settings), and keep it chosen as the primary input source (extended guide here).
- Note that this will cause predictive text to be present even without the OSK open, and the input language for Typing Booster's predictions will have to be set in Typing Booster's settings
To open the keyboard from the command line (or with a shortcut), run the command dconf write /org/gnome/shell/extensions/gjsosk/indicator/opened true which will open the keyboard

100% width or height doesn't take up the full monitor width or height (minus 25 px on either side). Instead, it is 1 or 2 px smaller, depending on the monitor size

If you find any bugs, or if you have any suggestions, please open an issue or submit a pull request. Thanks!

As of recently, all keyboard layouts and variants (available through localectl) have been added to GJS-OSK. Please report on the state of keyboard layouts as correct/incorrect in issue #48, and I will try to fix them promptly.
- To generate a single keyboard layout, install xkbcommon through pip and run genKeyMap.py with layout+variant as the argument (pip install xkbcommon then python genKeyMap.py de+dvorak for example)

Help in this area is greatly appreciated!
