VirtualKeyboard X 3.1

VirtualKeyboard is an on-screen keyboard that offers point-and-click typing using pointing devices such as a head pointer, mouse, trackball, etc. This program is designed primarily for disabled person but it can be used also to teach the children to write, to prepare kiosk environments, etc.
To use VirtualKeyboard simply click on the keys on the on-screen keyboard, each keypress will be sent to the active or front-most application.
As with a real keyboard, to get uppercase characters you click Shift first, or to type in all uppercase, click Lock. Similarly, the other qualifier keys work as expected, even outside of VirtualKeyboard.
Main features:

- "Click and Hold Mouse Button to Access Contextual Menu". If you have a one-button mouse, you can open the contextual menu in the Finder, simply keeping pressed the button of the mouse.
