I would like to be able to click any text box and either have an on screen keyboard open automatically or have an icon appear nearby to open a keyboard. Also, I would like to use a keyboard more like those developed for Android tablets. Current on screen keyboards do not quite do the job - small keys, not accessible to thumbs etc.

I don't have the programming experience to start on this, but would be happy to contribute where I can.

In android, whenever focus is in a text box (or any text entering area), a keyboard will extend from the bottom of the screen.

I Windows 7, instead of appearing straight away, a semi-transparent icon appears signifying text entry is available, and when touched/clicked, the on screen keyboard appears.

I believe the best way to go about this would be to use the Windows 7 method of bringing up the keyboard, but have it anchored to the bottom of the screen so it opens and closes in the same way as Android keyboards.

This way, they Keyboard will always be in the same place meaning people can get accustomed to it always being there.
